Requirements of good Demonstration:
The success of any demonstration following points should be kept in mind.
1. It should be planned and rehearsed by the teacher before hand.

3. Adequate lighting arrangements be made on demonstration table and a proper background table need to be provided.
4. All the pieces of apparatus be placed in order before starting the demonstration. The apparatus likely to be used should be placed in the left hand side of the table and it should be arranged in the same order in which it is likely to be used
5. Before actually starting the demonstration a clear statement about the purpose of demonstration be made to the students.
6. The teacher makes sure that the demonstration lecture method leads to active participation of the students in the process of teaching.
7. The demonstration should be quick and slick and should not appear to linger on unnecessarily.
8. The demonstration should be interesting so that it captures the attention of the students.

10. For active participation of students the teacher may call individual student in turn to help him in demonstration.
