Demonstration

Demonstration is showing how something works. In contrast to a theoretical description, a demonstration allows for independent observation on the methods, result of the experiment or the course of the experiment and drawing conclusions from these observations.
The demonstration can be a useful method to provide proof of concept or to increase awarness about existing things or solutions.
