Description: The purpose of this type of exhibit is for
members to communicate the processes and out-
comes of a scientific investigation they design and
conduct themselves. The display must include (1) a
question or hypothesis, (2) an investigative procedure
(What was done?), (2) the data collection or observa-
tion method (How was it collected/ observed), (3) a
report of the data collected or observations made, (4)
an analysis of the data collected or observations made
(How do you interpret the data and evidence?), (5) a
conclusion addressing the original question or hy-
pothesis (Does the evidence support or refute your
claim?). Intermediate and Senior Exhibits must in-
clude a data chart and a graph or other visual repre-
sentation of the data.

name, county and class number. Each exhibit must
include the appropriate Project Description form filled

tences.
If more than one article is contained in the exhibit then
each article must be labeled with the member’s name,
county and class number and attached to each other.
The one exception to this is the Rocketry Engineering
Journal, which must be included with the Rocket dis-
play, but is not required to be attached to it. This may
be done with masking tape/index card with a marker
or writing directly on the back with a marker. Judging
Evaluations can be found at: http://oregon.4h.oregon-
