Create a bulletin board title. Keep the title short, sweet and easy to understand. Make the title a two word maximum with as few syllables as possible: "Science Center," for example. Give students a few options of what to name the board: "Mr. Wizard" or "Sir Science," for instance. Take a vote and give the board a proper name.
Make the title out of construction paper or cardboard. Trace the letters of the title with stencils. Make each letter large and clear. Give each letter additional glow by wrapping cardboard pieces in shiny wrapping paper. Douse each letter and the board in glitter to give is a cosmic look. Attach the title at the top of the board with push pins.
Devote 1/3 of the board to updates on class lessons. Title the section "Hands-On," or another title to connote student activity with science. Post photos from class experiments in this section, for example. Post a daily quote from a student who may comment on the experiment. Keep quotes short and sweet as well: "It's fun!" or "All done!"
Devote the second 1/3 of the board to "Fun Ideas" and title this section as such. List a super simple science experiment students may try with other students or parents. Use this section to announce a subsequent experiment the class will explore. Draw a picture of a child holding a balloon and his hair sticking straight up. Give the picture a short caption, such as "Static Electricity," related to the science demonstrated in the picture.
Give the final 1/3 of the board over to bright and bold stickers or pictures of science objects or tools. Attach stickers of microscopes, vials, chemicals and safety goggles, for example. Caption each image with the name of its respective object or tool.
Make a "Keep Science Safe" reminder. Stencil this reminder in smaller letters and attach them to the bottom rim of the bulletin board. Decorate the letters in a similar manner to the title as a way to keep safety something to enjoy and incorporate with science activities at all times.
