Activity Overview


Creating a science poster or infographic is a fantastic way to showcase science topics in a compelling visual format! Not only are creating science posters lots of fun for students, they also provide teachers with a worthwhile assessment at the end of a unit! Students have to think critically to determine what facts and information to highlight and how to illustrate important connections between data.


Here are some ideas for science project topics for high school:


When finished, students' science posters can be printed, laminated, and hung around the classroom or school. Students can also project them onto the board and present their findings to their classmates, adding a public speaking component to the project. Teachers may wish to organize a "gallery walk" where students have the opportunity to walk around as if they are at the Science Museum!

Teachers, don't forget, you can add as many templates to your assignments as you wish! For additional templates to add to this assignment, check out our Science Infographic Templates, Science Fair Poster templates, PSA Infographic Templates or our Entire Infographic Gallery!

Common Core Standards
  • [ELA-Literacy/W/9-10/2] Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content
  • [ELA-Literacy/W/9-10/7] Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation
  • [ELA-LITERACY/RST/9-10/1] Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to the precise details of explanations or descriptions.
  • [ELA-LITERACY/RST/9-10/2] Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; trace the text's explanation or depiction of a complex process, phenomenon, or concept; provide an accurate summary of the text.
  • [ELA-LITERACY/WHST/9-10/6] Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products, taking advantage of technology's capacity to link to other information and to display information flexibly and dynamically.
