This section is a summary of what you found out in your experiment, focusing on your observations, data table, and graph(s), which should be included at this location in the report. o Conclusions. o Acknowledgements. This is your opportunity to thank anyone who helped you with your science fair project, from a single individual to a company or government agency. o Bibliography. Write the abstract section last, even though it will be one of the first sections of your final report. Your final report will be several pages long, but don't be overwhelmed! Most of the sections are made up of information that you have already written. Gather up the information for each section and type it in a word processor if you haven't already. Remember to do a spelling and grammar check in your word processor. Also, have a few people proof read your final report. They may have some helpful comments! For almost every science fair project, you need to prepare a display board to communicate your work to others. In most cases you will use a standard, three-panel display board that unfolds to be 36" tall by 48" wide.
