The demonstration should be 35-45 minutes long and should include an objective, a list of materials, a brief introduction, an outline of the demo steps, and a conclusion.

Make the Prompt Work for You

• Have ChatGPT adapt the demonstration as needed for your classroom. Ask for it to be quick and dynamic for use as an introduction to a unit, or extend it and integrate it into a lesson plan.

• Ask ChatGPT to provide any additional resources you may need, such as a vocabulary list with key terms, or any direct instruction necessary for the demonstration.

• Enlist ChatGPT to help you flip the script - ask for ways in which students could do their own scientific demonstrations on the topic you're studying.
