Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'lecture' (a teaching talk) with 'demonstration' (showing how something works); it denotes a practical demonstration given as part of a lecture. This simple noun-noun composition follows common compositional patterns and is cross-linguistically obvious, so a B1 learner who knows both constituent words should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The compound noun lecture demonstration comes from teachers who give a lecture, meaning a 'talk', and a demonstration, meaning a 'live showing', at the same time so students both hear and see the idea. That's why it means 'a presentation where the teacher shows a practical example to explain key points'.
