chemistry demo

Classroom science demonstration

A chemistry demo is a demonstration performed to illustrate chemical principles or reactions, typically in educational settings.

Teachers conduct chemistry demos to show concepts like combustion, pH changes, or states of matter: The volcano experiment is a classic chemistry demo.

Some demos are flashy crowd-pleasers—fire, explosions, color changes—while others emphasize careful observation of subtle processes.
