PIRA Classification Scheme

The goal of the PIRA Demonstration Classification Scheme was created to provide a logical organization and universally inclusive unique number to every lecture demonstration nation wide. The structure of the classification system is as follows:
- Example: 1D60.10.a Howitzer and Tunnel (another name, Ballistic Cart and Bridge) - attachment:piralogo.jpg - 1 - Area - (mechanics) - D - Topic - (motion in two dimensions) - 60 - Concept - (projectile motion) - .10 - Demonstration - (Howitzer and Tunnel) - For more info Click [http://physicslearning.colorado.edu/PiraHome/dcs/PIRADCS.html DCS] - .a - Duplication - UW-Madison addition for multiple units, (a, b, c, ...)
