Demonstration Experiment in the Inquiry-Based Instruction

Demonstration experiments are performed by teachers individually or in cooperation with one or more students, at the teachers’ desk, in front of the whole class. It is usually less expensive and less time-consuming than student experiments. The advantage is also that all students have opportunity to observe and participate in an ongoing experiment, directly influencing its course. The teacher can direct student's attention and focus on important details that are essential for understanding the concepts to be adopted. He can discuss relevant questions with students, if necessary, repeat the key parts of the experiments, and carefully scaffold students to the conclusions. Demonstration experiments have an irreplaceable role in the demonstration of dangerous phenomena and materials such as chemicals, boiling water, electricity, fire, etc. It is also convenient for experiments that are expensive. difficult to perform or take a long time. The lecture will demonstrate the use of the demonstration experiment in research-based teaching throug the use of few important experiments from different parts of the high school physics program.
