Anybody who has ever seen professors Ragsdale and Driscoll at the U give the annual Faraday lecture knows how enjoyable and interesting a science demo can be. Chemistry in this case. I saw it many times and knew what to expect from the demonstrations, but it was so much fun that it was never a letdown. Those two had their routine down pat, and worked well off each other. They could have done vaudeville. Alas, the pair retired from the lectures in 2004 and I think some new faculty are doing them now, but those two left some big shoes to fill.

Yes, demos would be great. Maybe someone from U of U Physics could present something.
