Creative ideas??? Easy ten points goes to most creative answer!?
This years theme for National History Day is Innovations in History: Impact and Change. The topic I chose is Crayola Crayons. I am doing an exhibit for this and really need some ideas. People get really into it.
The exhibit is usually a huge tri board poster (up to 6 feet tall!) and they get really creative and have cool displays in front of them. However, you don't have to use a poster! You can make a big model or sculpture or anything, really. As long as it fits the size requirements. The ones judges and teachers have loved in the past were the ones that were 3D, like where you look into something, almost like a diorama and see all the information. So any ideas???
create a GIANT Crayola crayon and use that as a poster board(like you can glue all your info to it)
OR
melt a bunch of crayons on the board. it looks REALLY cool.

Saltwater Aquarium Decorations
So you own a saltwater aquarium, time for the fun part - saltwater aquarium decorations are one aspect of marine fish keeping where you can really allow your imagination to reign free. A variety of decorations are available - from ceramic, resin or plastic ornaments and backgrounds, real or false corals and shells and even plants the skys the limit when it comes to making a marine world for your fish..
Marine aquarium decorations are fun to buy because unlike the other inhabitants of your tank they don't require any special care. You won't need to feed them, provide special habitats and they can't get sick or die so they are hassle free! A tank without any décor is dull but that's not all.
An aquarium without any saltwater aquarium decorations is not very exciting and it can also beunhealthy for your fish. Using tank décor makes it possible to break up the physical environment of the tank and is important both for the biological and psycho-social well-being of the fish in your tank. This is because using tank decorations gives hiding places, areas for food to grow on and microbe activity that keeps your marine tank healthy.
Add to this the fact that marine aquarium decorations are nice to look at and fun to work with and you'll begin to see that décor is essential in any marine tank. The best way to choose your marine tank decorations is to visit a store that allows you to see saltwater aquarium décors in an working tank, not just on a rack or a table.
Some examples of marine aquarium decorations you might like to try in your saltwater tank are:
Belching clams and treasure chests - These are bubbly and air actuated action ornaments. Spacemen, submarines, clams, and treasure chests are always very popular. Even a frog on a log and airstones, are fun saltwater aquarium decorations. The display should be well lit and there should be plenty of bubbles for the best effect.
So what other options are there for marine aquarium decorations? What about unusual and interesting backgrounds? You can purchase a variety of backdrops like marinescapes, paint-on materials, foils, mirrors and cork stock. You can even buy an in-tank diorama! Display the background effectively and choose a tank décor that suits its theme.
Rocks are another good choice for saltwater aquarium decorations. You can choose from volcanic, sandstones and metamorphic rock or even plastic. Some rocks don't have any impact on water quality while others improve the water quality. If you aren't sure of a certain rock, play it safe and leave it out. Try pieces of tufa, igneous, silicious/petrified woods), and brackish and African Great Lakes systems calcareous "base" rock. You can usually buy rocks by the pound or the 'piece'. Some rock types are artificial while others are natural.
Driftwood is a great idea for saltwater aquarium decorations. It might be self-sinking or weighted and wither chemically or physically inert or live. Don't try to cure your own woods. It's just too time consuming and expensive, it's cheap enough to buy anyway.
Corals and shells can also be used as saltwater aquarium decorations. Always try to use those from a natural marine source.
Marbles are traditional saltwater aquarium decorations. They can be used underwater - whole circular to flat, marbles and crushed glass are popular in marine tanks. However marbles don't make for a good biological substrate. They do provide vibrant color to any tank, though.
Faux natural saltwater aquarium decorations are another way of pepping up your tank. You can choose from fake rocks, logs, shells, coral, ships and more. Fake they might be but some are attractive when arranged properly; so don't overlook these decorations.
Plastic plants are another option you might want to make use of for your saltwater aquarium decorations. You can obtain some good likenesses of marine plants like sagittaria-turtle grass for example so don't overlook them and use them to supplement your real plants while they are growing.
Your choice of saltwater aquarium decorations is up to you but there are some general guidelines to bear in mind when making a choice.
Always make sure that your marine aquarium decorations don't have any sharp edges on which your fish might cut themselves. Never use any substances (rocks, shells etc) that might give off toxic chemicals into the water. Choose shapes and designs that make suitable hiding places for shy animals and good substrates for the growth of marine plants.
Also make sure that your saltwater aquarium decorations are squeeky clean when you put them into your tank. Never use decorations from a tank where the fish or plants are ill or unhealthy in any way. Make sure that there are no spaces within the decorations where fish might get trapped and die.
The best saltwater aquarium decorations don't have to be particularly fancy. If you like spacemen and frogs go ahead and decorate your tank with them - it's your tank after all. If you prefer a more elegant style choose natural, rather than faux ornaments and study other natural systems and try to copy some of these environments in your tank.
You can easily glean this kind of information from books on marine biology or by doing some research on the World Wide Web. The more you learn the more accurate will be the marine world you create and this will make your fish and other invertebrates happy and healthy. The most important thing to remember is to have fun with your marine aquarium decorations.
But don't forget the health of your marine ecosystem. Try to find the proper balance between the aesthetic value of your tank and the well-being of your fish. The only way to make sure that your stock stay healthy is to study, study, study the fish, invertebrates, plants and make sure you give them what they need to survive, a good cheap online book on everything you need to know on marine and saltwater aquariums.
Good luck in whatever you choose, and enjoy your saltwater aquarium decorations.
