==========================================
	DEMO Show for HOME Schoolers - 16-Feb-00
	==========================================

There were about 30 kids and they seemed to have a great time.  
All demos worked, however we had several water spills, but had
fun with it.  

Ken successfully swung the water around on the tray
but when trying to answer a students question he got sidetracked 
and the tray caught his leg resulting in soda everywhere.
Aimee and Nicole over shot the catch tray when using the PVC
tube w/holes and again water went everywhere.  Well you get the
picture.  We did a lot of mopping between demos.

My obesrvations were that there wasn't much the kids didn't like.
They laughed, wanted to join in (and we let them) and asked 
really good questions.  I think we had a good time as well.
