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 Howitzer and Tunnel (another name, Ballistic Cart and Bridge)

 ||1 ||Area ||(mechanics)||
 ||D ||Topic ||(motion in two dimensions)||
 ||60 ||Concept ||(projectile motion)||
 ||.10 ||Demonstration ||(Howitzer and Tunnel)||

The topic and concept divisions of the structure loosely follow the standard textbook organization of chapter and section, although they were created to organize existing demonstrations, not cover the entirety of elementary physics, and therefore skip some areas of the curriculum covered by standard textbooks. The standard curriculum has changed over the years and categories have been created to contain the many demonstrations rendered obsolete by modern textbooks. Some single concept films, videos, and computer programs are sometimes included but such resources have not been systematically identified.
