  • Key facts — share at least three things you learned about your topic. Use science vocabulary.
  • A visual — show your poster, collage, journal, or experiment board so the audience can see as well as hear.
  • A connection — explain how your topic connects to real life. Why does it matter?
  • A question for the audience — end with one question that invites your audience to think.
