8. Steps of Demonstration method
(1)Planning and preparation
(2)Introducing the lesson and asking key questions relates to the
important concepts in the Demonstration.
(3)PreviewThe step following the introduction and preceding the actual
demonstration is called the preview. The preview is a brief statement
of the demonstration.
(4)Maintain Safety standards-The teacher should stress the key points
of safety at each step
(5)Presentation of subject matter

10. 7. Summarize-
•the steps involved in the demonstration are enumerated and emphasized.
•key points should be stressed
•summarize the phases in the same order as they occurred in the
demonstration.
•No phase should be omitted.

12. Points to Remember
•Carefully plan the demonstration:
Like all other methods of teaching, the teacher must know exactly what s/he is doing.
•Practice the demonstration:
Once a well thought out plan has been developed, proper practice should be done. It
is very risky to give a demonstration without having practiced it beforehand,
especially when the procedure or topic is relatively complex or unfamiliar.
•Develop an outline to guide the demonstration:
have an outline that lists the steps to follow, the materials to use, the questions to ask
and the important points to make. Developing such an outline provides the teacher
not only a guide for carrying out the demonstration but also with a well designed
framework into which spontaneous ideas can be incorporated as the situation
demands.

13. Points to remember
•Relevancy with the content.
•Should be student participation.
•Demonstration must be appropriate
•The object being displayed during demonstration should not be so small.
•The demonstration should be visible to all students.
•When a demonstration requires the class stand around a display, the teacher
should ensure everyone can see by having the class form a semi-circle
•Use clear language
•The pupils should be able to ask question
•Should be capable to draw the result.
•Appropriate timing

14. •Aids and equipment used in the demonstration can distract the class
if they are placed on display before the time of demonstration.
•Follow a logical sequence. Perform the demonstration in a logical
sequence

15. Disadvantages
•Not hands-on: Not a direct hands on experience for student unless
being lead step by stepand student participation is ensured.
•Limited view: Students may not have an equal view of demonstration,
so some may miss an aspect of the demonstration.
•Pacing issue: Not all students will be able to follow single paced
demonstration
•Restrict on certain kinds of teaching.
•Result demonstration takes time.
•Required large amount of preliminary preparation.

1. Relevancy with the contents.
2. Pupil-Participation.
3. Handling of equipment and materials.
4. Appropriateness of the demonstration.
5. Visibility of the demonstration work.
6. Capability of drawing result.
7. Display timing.
