Left Panel Purpose Methods Background

Purpose Section The display board should clearly state the purpose of the research. In the purpose section, tell the audience the following things: What you tried to accomplish Why did you do this project What question(s) was asked? OR What hypothesis was tested What gap in the knowledge was addressed Researchers presuppose a target audience, identify the audience. Examples of target audiences: • Parents visiting a neonatal clinic • Consumers of long-term care insurance • Small business owners purchasing print ads

Purpose Example To analyze the controversy surrounding students’ Fourth Amendment Rights in school by creating a realistic compromise that ensures both school safety and student privacy. This compromise will be presented to and judged by legal scholars.

Procedure/Method Section SCIENTIFIC BOARDS: Include a detailed description of each step in the experiment Give a complete list of materials Use active verbs to clearly and concisely state your procedure/method Placing a lab notebook on the table in front of the board can be used to illustrate how meticulously the experiment was conducted
