Glossary

WRITING SCIENCE POSTERS 4  Working in groups, choose a science topic (famous chemists, your own version of the periodic table, a particular element, the atom, chemical reactions, how chemistry works in everyday life, biomolecules, etc.) and create a poster in English about it. Remember that a good poster is a combination of text, illustrations, and other presentation formats is attractive, informative, and easy to read. These guidelines might help you create an appealing and effective poster. CREATING A SCIENTIFIC POSTER Regardless of the content, the goal of a scientific poster is to display information in a clear, concise manner, while generating interest. The content of a research poster is generally broken up into a few sections. The specific sections should be easy to locate on the poster. Headings can help readers find what they are looking for: objective, results, conclusions, etc. ACTIVITIES     The individual sections of a poster should be designed in a way to be quickly read. The poster should contain neither large blocks of text (no more than 50-75 words) nor long sentences. Sentence complexity should be reduced and details should be deleted.   All text should be large enough to be readable from 1,5-2 meters.   Message should be kept simple to be more memorable.   If possible, the sections should rely on images: photographs, drawings, and graphs.   A well chosen and brief Title attracts viewers and clarifies the subject matter of the poster.   A very short Abstract may be included.   The Introduction should not bore the readers with excessive information.    The materials and methods that have been used in the research process together with images, charts, or graphs that will help the viewer better understand the process should be included in the section Materials and Methods.    As the readers can understand graphics more easily and quickly than blocks of text, any graphics that can help show the data visually should be included in the Results, Charts and graphs are usually more effective than tables, but they must be labelled clearly.    The research questions and the significant results obtained should be briefly reviewed in the Conclusion section.    The References section should be as short as possible.    All the members of the research group and all the people who have helped with the work should be accredited in the Acknowledgements section.    Email or website address of the members of the research team and links to relevant resources should be included in the Contact information section. 136 Module 3 MOLECULES
