| Abstract |
|
Chemistry demonstrations provide opportunities for students to feel and experience the essence of chemistry. Teachers can use demonstrations to improve their teaching and to provide learning opportunities otherwise unavailable to students. Reasons, often ignored by busy educators, for choosing to prepare and conduct demonstrations are discussed. Important steps in preparing demonstrations, including the role of showmanship, are emphasized. Resources, an original sample demonstration, and references are included.
