Presenting a Project

Presenting Your Hovercraft Science Project

A First Class Example - Alex's Science Project

Alex from PA, USA used our Hover Hopper Plans to build a radio controlled model Hovercraft. Using this platform he was able to show how a hovercraft works, its applications and future.

Setting Out Your Project

There are many aspects of hovercraft, their operation and theory that can be the subject of a science project. The key to any work is the way it is presented. You project should contain key elements:

The objective - What did you set out to show through your work
Your experiments, how they were conducted and with what equipment
Your results, shown in a way that can be quickly understood by those looking at and maybe, judging your work
Your Conclusions - A summary of what you learned from the conducting the experiments

You should discuss the background and maybe some history as an introduction to your project. Expand on your ideas and how these can be applied in everyday situations.

Be sure to show you understand the subject and how you obtained your information. Using this website or any other source of information to help your project is all part of your research. Tell your audience where you got your information. This will demonstrate how thorough you have been in seeking out the background you need.

Lastly good luck with your project and have fun hovering!

This is an outstanding piece of work from Alex and he earned a first in his Science Fair for this effort. It is also an excellent example of a science project with all the right elements.

Congratulations Alex, well done!

If you need a complete guide to preparing your science project, take a look at our 'Cheat Sheets'. They can be found in our Science Kits Store. These provide a complete guide from start to finish for your project and even include experiments, expected results, background history and information along with pictures and diagrams to put onto your display board.
