Making a Presentation

Making a Presentation Good communication is important to sharing ideas. Scientists may present their research in front of hundreds of people at a conference, or you may have to present a science project to your class. Like scientists, you too must be able to communicate your ideas in an interesting and effective way.

Choose your media type Will your presentation be on paper or be electronic? The purpose of your presentation and the media available to you will often guide your decision

Prepare for your audience Your presentation should tell a story, and the story should keep your audience engaged. The less the audience know about the topic, the simpler the layout should be.

Less is More Presenting and explaining a few ideas clearly will make your presentation easier to understand than filling it with several ideas and images.

Practice your talk The best way to remember your presentation and the points you want to make is to take time to create it and then practice it.

Cite your sources Remember to add your sources. Also thank the people who helped you create your presentation. Plagiarism is the act of presenting someone else’s work as your own. Plagiarism is never acceptable.

Make it Interesting Be aware of the purpose of your presentation. Choose and write out the highlights of the information but prepare for the questions Choose appropriate font color that can be read Interesting does not mean entertaining
