COMPLETING THE ABSTRACT:


Abstracts are limited to a maximum 250 words and must fit within the predefined area. Please be sure
to consult the information from your affiliate fair for the proper formatting of the header information
as fairs differ in what is required (or not allowed).
The abstract should include the following:
a) purpose of the experiment
b) procedure
c) data
d) conclusions
It may also include any possible research applications. Only minimal reference to previous work may
be included. An abstract must not include the following:
a) acknowledgments (including naming the research institution and/or mentor with which you were
working), or self-promotions and external endorsements
b) work or procedures done by the mentor
COMPLETING THE CERTIFICATION:
At the bottom of the Abstract & Certification form there are six questions. Read each carefully and
answer appropriately. The Affiliated Fair Scientific Research Committee will review and approve the
abstract and answers to the questions.
Please bring a copy of your Abstract & Certification to the fair and be sure to consult with your
affiliated fair regarding the rules of making copies to distribute.
TIPS ON WRITING A PROJECT ABSTRACT
A project abstract is a brief paragraph or two (limited to 250 words or 1,800 characters) highlighting
and/or summarizing the major points or most important ideas about your project. An abstract allows
judges to quickly determine the nature and scope of a project.
Emphasize these aspects: purpose (hypothesis), methods (procedures used), data summary or
analysis, and conclusions.

Focus only on the current years research.

Omit details and discussions.

Use the past tense when describing what was done. However, where appropriate use active verbs
rather than passive verbs.

Use short sentences, but vary sentence structure.

Use complete sentences. Dont abbreviate by omitting articles or other small words in order to
save space.

Avoid jargon and use appropriate scientific language.

Use concise syntax, correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

AVOID A REWRITE
Focus on what you did, not on the work of your mentor or of the laboratory in which you did your
work.

Do NOT include acknowledgements, self promotion or external endorsements. Dont name the
research institution and/or mentor with which you were working and avoid mentioning awards or
honors (including achieving a patent) in the body of the abstract.

Be sure to emphasize the current years research. A continuation project should only make a brief
mention of previous years research (no more than a sentence or two).
