Use all your senses. • Try to come up with a hypothesis for what you think is happening. Why did you see what you saw? • Tell me 1 way that knowing how this demo works could be useful • Demo 1: The Tablecloth Trick Demo 2: Invincible Phone Books • Demo 3: Fireproof Paper Demo 4: The Tesla Coil • Analysis Questions for After the Demos: • 1) From the demos you’ve seen, what kind of things does physics cover?
