- Abstract
The article reports that demonstration is one of the most important factors in the general science course. Apart from reading science text books, pupils should do most of the work themselves if they have to receive the maximum value. Junior high school pupils tend to be very curious to see, inquire, and act. Demonstration in a class room is very helpful for junior high school students. Students take huge interest in such demonstrations. Scientific demonstrations also encourage students to try newer things. Simple demonstrations furnish better training and more knowledge than difficult and complex ones. Simple home- made apparatus made by young students gives better results than expensive and complicated laboratory apparatus. A teacher should make sure that he performs the demonstration that requires experience in handling the apparatus. Science demonstration file is one of the effective tools of science demonstrations because it contains ample information on the subject. Science demonstration files can be used in various ways.
