Overall, while this article was written as an example of a lesson for pre-service teachers, this article does an excellent job of explaining the importance of effective demonstrations in engaging students in inquiry based learning. There is a list of resources to use for discrepant event demonstrations, a rubric for evaluating demonstrations and step by step instructions and ideas on how to implement demonstrations in your classroom. A recommended read for any science teacher looking to strengthen their demonstration skills, or any teacher looking to incorporate more effective demonstrations towards inquiry lessons.
