Safety Precautions: Science Theatre demonstrators must keep the safety of themselves and their audience in mind at all times. All Science Theatre demonstrators must have read through the Safety Training page. The ST Safety Box with first aid kit, fire extinguisher, etc. should always be available to demonstrators. Always wear safety gloves, glasses, and a labcoat if handling chemicals; always perform potentially dangerous demonstrations at a safe distance from the audience; and always keep a very close eye on any volunteers you call from the audience.

When using slingshot or model nucleus, be sure that audience members are not in danger of being hit by projectiles.

Do not touch exposed metal when cathode ray tube is on; it could cause a shock.

Follow liquid nitrogen safety procedures when doing the Meissner effect. (See Demos.LiquidNitrogen.)

When performing the supernova demo, be sure not to prick the volunteer when popping the balloon.

Preparation: This show requires some practicing, but with adjustments could be performed by one volunteer or many. To guarentee that the show goes smoothly make sure all volunteers are comfortable with the science explained in their parts.

Also, on the day of the show, arrive at the location early enough to get all demos set up and plugged in, and make sure that the slides and camera for the Meissner effect work with the projector.
