8. Prepare your display.

Painted Turtle, Michigan State Reptile (Herpetology)

The maximum dimensions of the project are 48 inches wide, 30 inches deep, and 60 inches high. Although a tri-fold display works best, any freestanding display board is acceptable. The contents and arrangement of the display board (with information from your workbook) are at your discretion. However, if you want your project to be eligible for the Monroe County Science Fair, see the additional requirements.

Be certain to perform a quality check.

Write your name, school, grade, home address, and telephone number on the back of your display board. Do not show your name or photograph on the front of your display board, on your workbook, or on your report.

Since electrical outlets will be available only for experiments and models using a working computer, design any other electrical display to use batteries.

Live animals may not be exhibited.

Place bacteria and viruses in sealed containers.

Place water or other fluids in watertight containers.

Do not display valuable items.
