The organization of these demonstrations is based on the Physics Instructional Resource Association (PIRA)
Demonstration Classification Scheme.  This scheme groups the demos according to the area, topic, and concept of physics which
it demonstrates.  A detailed explanation of this system can be found in PIRA's Demonstration Bibliography.
 

These demonstrations are organized using the PIRA classification scheme
