Make sure to include captions even if the
text is very small.
• You can also use bullet points in this
space to highlight important items
• Make sure you don’t use too many
bullets, and keep your spacing large
to make the bullets easier to read
• Don’t use bullets in every section
FUTURE ACTIVITIES
If your research project is ongoing or
you intend to add to your results,
explain here what you intend to do in
the future.
METHODS & MATERIALS
Talk about your methods and materials
here, or use this space to instead talk
about how you went about your
research and what you used including
instrumentation, step-by-step
methods, and locations.
CONCLUSION
• This is another good place for bullets
You can also write one caption for several pictures if the pictures are closely related. This can sometimes save space.
RESULTS
Discuss the results (NOT YOUR CONCLUSIONS) of your research &
data here. Talk about your important findings and interesting
discoveries, but don’t use this section to tie it in to your introduction.
• This is a good spot to use bullets
• You can point out important findings and discoveries, and
people can get the point of your research very quickly
• Again, use bullets sparingly, and you can even set them apart
like this by increasing the font or changing the text color or
putting them in a colored box.
• Use only 3-4 bullets in this section
• Don’t use punctuation at the end of
your bullets
ACKNOWLEGDEMENTS
If you’d like, you can list
acknowledgements here. OR Rename
the title to “Resources” and list your
resources. If you have neither, put a
picture or more graphics in this spot.
Or omit this all together and add more
text to the categories above.
