    I agree that the key to an effective demo is student
involvement(mentally).  There are certainly many ways to accomplish this for
different groups.  Sokoloff et al. have been trying out ways to involve the
students when demos are performed in large group settings.  In our classes a
demo may be part of a key question that generates a period long
discussion, culminating with the demo itself as an initial test of
our theories.
