Landed a job as a physics lab tech, need advice.

[spaceid]

Hi everyone, I graduated in May of 2014 with a BS in Astrophysics and just landed a job with a major university as a physics lab assistant. As part of the position I will give a 15-20 minute lecture to undergrad students regarding what they are doing in the lab that day. I have no experience in lecturing physics on front of students and I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to prepare. The first lab is in regards to electromagnetism and even though I was able to do the work as an undergrad, I am worried about how I am going to get the subject across to the students. Any advice on teaching physics for the first time would be helpful!

If you Google around there are many articles on giving dynamic lectures that impact the listeners.

I found this one that looks pretty good:
