Title Should be Readable from 15-20 Feet Away�Joe Postermaker and all other group members names go here �your class, your school

Purpose

Your Intro should contain a central question

State what you have to clearly

Begin by determining one central concept you want to get across to your audience

Plan and sketch out the poster, use the layout to simplify the material!

Data

Your poster will grab people’s attention and be accessible to people walking by in a hurry

Data

General Layout

Less text, more graphics

use graphics to explain as much as you can, text is supplemental

Use space to separate points, sections, or experiments, you may want to number sections

Use colors and graphics to add clarity, not to decorate

Bibliography

If you have references put them at the end and in little font. Avoid using them if you can.

Procedure

Use Limited Text

Use bullets and numbering instead of text blocks

You are there to explain details to people, don’t do that with text

but they should be able to follow the poster without your help

Highlight or bold important points

Procedure

Use Graphics

Self-explanatory graphics should dominate the poster

Use text to supplement these images

Conclusions

Summarize implications and conclusions briefly

Provide an explicit take-home message

The Effects of Microwave Radiation on Yeast�Siranaka Koboo�DeKalb High School

Purpose

Does microwave radiation affect yeast?
Microwave radiation does have many effects on yeast. Microwaves are a form of "electromagnetic" radiation and they are waves of electrical and magnetic energy moving together through space. This experiment is going to show what happens when yeast is microwave for a period of time.

Data

This is

measured in

mL.

I would like to thank http://www.education.com/science-fair/article/microwave-radiation-affect-different-organisms/ for supplying me with idea of microwaving yeast. https://www.usc.edu/CSSF/Current/Projects/J1123.pdf

Procedures

The materials used for the experiment were dry baker’s yeast, a microwave, a plate, water, sugar, twenty-five falcon tubes, a beaker, twenty-five plastic cups or beakers, a camera, and a notepad and pen.

The methods that were used were:

First, label five plastic cups zero seconds, another set of five cups five seconds, and finally the last set of five cups fifteen seconds. Next, pour one cup of water into each cup. Next, pour water, yeast, and sugar into the beaker and mix it. Then, pour the yeast water into one falcon tube. Insure that the top of the falcon tube has a small hole on the cover. Place your index finger on top of the hole and put it into the water that is labeled zero seconds. Do not remove your finger until the falcon tube with yeast water in it is fully into the cup of water. Repeat putting the falcon tubes with yeast water in them into five cups of water that is labeled zero seconds. Now microwave two packs of yeast on a plate for five seconds. Place it into a clean beaker, add water and sugar and mix it.

Then, pour it into a falcon tube and place your index finger over the hole on the cap of the falcon tube and place it into the water that is labeled five seconds. Repeat this process for all the cups that is labeled five seconds. Now microwave two packs of yeast on a plate for fifteen seconds. Place it into a clean beaker, add water and sugar and mix it. Then, pour it into a falcon tube and place your index finger over the hole on the cap of the falcon tube and place it into the water that is labeled fifteen seconds. Repeat this process for all the cups that is labeled fifteen seconds. Finally, after three hours record how much yeast water was let out of the falcon tubes. To remove the falcon tube out of the cup place your index finger on the hole on the cap of the tube and take it out.

Conclusions

In conclusion, microwaving the dry baker’s yeast makes the air release faster, but if microwaving yeast too much will make the air release slower. It took about three hours for the air to release out of the falcon tubes, but different amounts where released out. When air is released the yeast water comes out as well. Out of all, the yeast that had been microwaved for five seconds let out the most air, which was all the air.
