Editing Schrodingers Cat (section)

== Demonstration ==

# Set up the box onstage, and have Presenter A briefly introduce the idea of the Schrodinger's Cat Paradox (see "Why This Works"). As they talk about placing a cat in a box, Presenter A should pick up and toss the MSU cat plush into the box.
# Ask for a volunteer from the audience, and explain to them and the audience the purpose of the coin: If it lands heads up, the volunteer can put on a hat (presenter B shows the hats and tosses them into the box). If it lands tails up, then they can put the MSU cat plush on their head.
# Have the volunteer enter the box with the coin, and have them crouch down so the cloth can be put across the top. After the cloth is placed across, tell them to flip the coin and follow the directions.
# Presenter A: Let the audience know that you have to wait an hour now for the experiment to happen. A few seconds later, Presenter B should walk across the front of the stage with the "One Hour Later" sign. Presenter A can then acknowledge that "An hour just passed by".
# Poll the audience to see who thinks the volunteer will be wearing a hat, the cat, or both. Uncover the box and have the volunteer exit it to reveal what they are wearing.
