Denny,
     Hum, six year olds. Go with the Jacobs ladder. Yes, it is old=20
school but it has a big wow factor. Set a piece of paper on fire. Let=20
each of them come up and stick a small piece of paper in the discharge=20
stream. They'll have a great time and you can talk some about electrons=20
and electronics. Who knows you might inspire one or more of them to=20
become an engineer or scientist. My opinion for what it's worth!
Thanks,
rich!
