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.
