Show this video- A basic demonstration on how to solder and de-solder. After the Video I set up a soldering station in my class room. I have a camera on it going to my projector. I demonstrate the following.

1. Place Soldering Iron in a holder and plug it in.

2. I have on safety glasses and a small fan to blow fumes.

3. I have a sponge to clean the iron.

4. I have a piece of copper , I clean it with flux .
