Science Project Display Board

• General Notes– All items attached to the display board must

be attached by either using tape or glue. No metal fasteners ie. staples, pins, or clasps are allowed. The state science fair does not permit this so we will follow this rule to eliminate the need of changing the board if a student is selected to attend the 2009 SSEF.

– The abstract must be displayed vertically with the display board. The student may attach the abstract directly to the display board or may displayed it in a plastic free-standing frame.

Science Project Display Area

• General Notes– No non-functional apparatus or containers,

empty or otherwise may be displayed.– No glass is allowed except computer

monitors, television screens, and shielded fluorescent lights. No unsecured glass of any kind, (i.e. lenses, glass containers, thermometers, gauges, etc.) No pictures frames unless they are acrylic.

– Extraneous use of electricity will not be allowed at either the PRSEF or the SSEF. i.e. use of electricity merely for lights.
