Favorite Demonstration: Striking a Match—A Short and Effective Classroom Demonstration in Introductory Biology

Journal of College Science Teaching—May/June 2010

The educational literature is replete with research studies supporting the effectiveness of demonstrations and modeling on improving the student’s comprehension and retention of the concept. This manuscript, like all of the Favorite Demonstration articles, reflects another way of supporting our lecture content.
