I need to way to make a data chart or graph or something similar for my board.
I am currently doing a science fair project on whats the best way to keep cut fruits fresh. Every day, I will write about the look of the fruits, how it smells, etc. Is there a way I can show the judges on my board every day what happened to the fruits? If possible, can you help me think of a title for this project?

Hello Apple and welcome to Science Buddies,
Maybe the best way to show the judges what happened with your experiment will be to take photos day by day (or every other day). Then you can arrange the photos on your display board!
Here's a link to a website that will help you make a data table:
WGBH Educational Foundation (http://www.sedl.org/afterschool/toolkit ... elines.pdf).
This website will help you make charts and graphs for your data.

As for a title, the science fair judges actually prefer a title that states your hypothesis in the form of: How does (independent) variable affect the (dependent) variable. In your case, the dependent variables are your measures of freshness, smell, etc. BTW, here's a link to the Science Buddies project guide, in case you are not sure about your independent and dependent variables:

Be sure to let us know if you have more questions! And best of luck!
