Your entire display dimensions must be no larger than

• 122 cm (4 ft.) wide by 76 cm (2.5 ft.) deep by 198 cm (6.5 ft.) tall if it is to be entered as a  Table Project

Include with your display your notebook “journal” that documents your pre-experiment research/literature review, problem/question, working hypothesis, materials, methods/procedures, collected data, graphs, conclusions and list of people that assisted you during your science project experience.

A Project Abstract, a one page summary of your project.  The abstract is to be prepared on typing or notebook paper and may not exceed 250 words; your abstract needs to be brief and to the point (communicate ideas effectively by providing the basic facts of each part of your project), must use Standard English and be legible. (see “Abstract Guidelines”

• Use standard switches for 110-volt circuits.
• Properly shield all devices which generate dangerous rays (vacuum tubes, lasers, etc)
• Only Class I and/or II lasers may be used and if they are used as part of your display, they must be
• Surrounded by a protective housing during operation;
• Disconnected from the power source when not in use;
• Operated on by you (the exhibitor); and be
• Accompanied by a sign that reads, “LASER RADIATION: DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM”
