Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi,

Did you get the MSDS off of the web? If so, I would cite it like you cite any other website. (MLA format for websites is included on this page: http://www.liu.edu/CWIS/CWP/library/workshop/citmla.htm .) If you got it from somewhere else, can you tell us where you got it?

Thanks for helping!!!!

You're welcome!

New Problem... Upon writing all my procedures i realized i have over 4 pages of them!! Do you have any suggestions as to how I can put them on my board in an organized manner? Is it worth placing 2 boards on top of one another?

Congratz on making it this far!

I met the same problem when designing my first science fair board. What I did was I ended up putting the 4 page procedure in my research paper which I placed as supplement material in my booth, but for the board I fit the entire procedure under 2 pages of large font (you can be very straightforward and general in the board's procedure here, no need for the technical know-how).

If it is an option for you, you can also consider making printed boards (special places that literally prints your entire board for you after you give them the layout). In printed boards, all the text is small, and judges don't seem to mind (especially at high levels). In that case, you may communicate everything

Hope I've helped.

That sounds great.... My teacher seem to want me to just staple them together and put a border around them and glue them to the board(the pages flip up) is that an option?? I don't think mi madre will wanna pay 4 printing a board and I have already condensed them as much as my teacher said i can

Thanks soooo much
