done while the students become observers.

EXPLANATION USE OF APPARATUS
DEMONSTRATION 1. The demonstrator/s must be well-selected. He/she/they must be skilled in operating modern equipment and proficient in undertaking scientific investigations.
2. When planning the activities make sure
that the materials are easily available. Likewise, get prepared with possible substitutes. 3. Get ready with the equipment and tools to be used. Demonstration should be scheduled as to day and class period.
4. The demonstrator must try the activity
several times before the real demonstrations for a smooth sequencing of the steps as well as accuracy of the result. 5. The observers must be prepared and motivated to ensure concentration throughout the activity.
6. The demonstrator must be ready with on-
the-spot revision/s such as alternative steps or substitute materials when needed. 7. Arrange the observers around the demonstration area or at a distance where they will be able to observe fully what is going on.
8. Depending on the kind of demonstration
to be undertaken, pointers or questions may be given to focus students’ attention and avoid irrelevant observations. 1. The place must be quiet in order to sustain the observers’ attention and interest during the activity. 2. Extreme care must be taken in performing some delicate steps 3. The activity must not be interrupted by unnecessary announcements or noise in the surroundings. 4. They are allowed to take down short notes or record some data which may be analyzed after. 1. Allow some questions which bothered them during the demonstration. 2. An examination of the observed data and all information recorded follows. 3. Have an analysis of trends, patterns or uniform occurrences that can help in arriving at a conclusion. 4. The solution or summary must be cooperatively undertaken by the whole class. 5. Assess learning by way of a short test, an oral evaluation or a performance test. 1. The demonstration method follows a systematic procedure.
2. The use of expensive equipment and
machines will be maximized.
3. Possible wastage of time, effort and
resources will be avoided since the demonstration is supposed to be well- planned in advance. 4. It will not result to trial and error learning as what happens with unplanned learning activities.
5. The findings are reliable and accurate
since the procedure has bee tried before.
6. The value of confidence is developed
among the demonstrators for such hands-on demonstration.
