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.
