Science Project: Review & Share

A science project is only finished once you share it. Sharing forces you to step back, look at all your work as a whole, and decide what matters most. A clear share-out helps your audience follow your thinking from question to conclusion — and helps you spot any holes in your evidence before someone else does.

The Six Project Slides

1. Title slide — your project name and your own name.
2. Question slide — what you wanted to find out.
3. Hypothesis slide — your prediction and the reason behind it.
4. Method slide — the materials and ordered steps you followed.
5. Results slide — your data tables, charts, and observations.
6. Conclusion slide — what you learned and what you would do next.

Reviewing Your Own Work

• Read your project from start to finish, out loud, before sharing it.
• Check that the question, hypothesis, and conclusion all line up.
• Make sure every claim in the conclusion has a number behind it.
• Cut any sentence that does not help the audience understand your work.
• Practice saying each slide in your own words, not by reading it.

A Good Project Poster

• Three clear columns: Question, Method, and Results.
• Big headings, short sentences, and simple charts a viewer can read in seconds.
• A title across the top with your name and grade.
• A small conclusion box at the bottom or side that ties everything together.

Sharing and Listening Well

• Speak slowly and look up at your audience between points.
• Point to the chart or number you are talking about.
• When listening to a peer, write one strength and one question for them.
• Thank the audience and ask if anyone has a question at the end.
