Example of Research Poster from NASA

Hey class, click on this link to see an example of a professional research poster. Your poster may look considerably different, could be two sided, should be in color and you should critically review the poster for mistakes, errors, etc.

Animal Experiment Update

Hey SEALians,
We hope you had a good time at physics night down in Denver. I think we all learned that school buses are tough to sleep on. Props to D-Rock for the live music.

Take a minute and let the class know about the status of your Animal Experiment. I have some pictures of some of your experiments, I will email them to you.

1. What have you done? Ex. created a maze for ants, or performed experiment.
2. What are you doing this week? Ex. performing experiment, analyzing data (be specific) or creating presentation poster.

Posting hint: write your initial entry in Word, copy ---> paste into the blog
