Y10 - Science: Research Posters

What is a Research Poster?

A research poster is usually a mixture of a brief text mixed with tables, graphs, pictures, and other presentation formats. At a conference, the researcher stands by the poster display while other participants can come and view the presentation and interact with the author.

What Makes an Effective Poster?

  • Important information should be readable from about 6 feet away
  • Title is short and draws interest
  • Text is clear and to the point
  • Use of bullets, numbering, and headlines make it easy to read
  • Effective use of graphics, colour and fonts
  • Consistent and clean layout
  • Includes acknowledgments, your name and school affiliation
