An abstract is a short summary of your science project. It's usually about 200-250 words and includes the main points of your project, like the problem you're trying to solve, how you did your experiment, and the results you found. You'll put it on your display board and it might also go at the beginning of your final report. In the abstract, you'll:

1. describe the objectives of your project
2. summarize the method and procedure you used
3. give a brief overview of the results
4. state your conclusion

Remember to keep it short and to the point!
