teaching-learning process is carried in a systematic way. Demonstration often
occurs when students have a hard time connecting theories to actual practice
or when students are unable to understand applications of theories. In order to
make a success of demonstration method, three things are necessary.

(a) The object being displayed during demonstration should not be so small.

(b) During the demonstration, the clear language should be used so that pupils

experiment. This might help in removing objection regarding non-availability of
learning by doing approach.
