A lound bang, an unexplainable discrepent event, a moment when every student is watching you with wonder. These are the moments that every teacher needs to create over and over again with their students. These are the moments that set the tone for the rest of the lesson, and for the rest of the school year. Welcome to our DEMONSTRATIONS pages. We hope you will find useful information to help you create meaningful moments with your students.
