chemistry demonstrations
Classroom science spectacles
Chemistry demonstrations are experiments performed for an audience, typically in educational settings, to illustrate scientific principles through visible reactions.
Classic examples include elephant toothpaste (rapid foam from hydrogen peroxide decomposition), color-changing solutions, and controlled combustions.
The spectacle serves pedagogy: The chemistry demonstration got students excited about molecular bonds.
Distinguished from hands-on labs by their show-and-tell format.
