"PIRA" stands for the Physics Instructional Resource Association, partially supported by the American Association of Physics Teachers. Join the [http://www.aapt.org AAPT!]

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:

There are 694 demonstrations listed in the tables below, of which 391 are grayed out.
Thus, we have at least 303 demonstrations within mechanics. However, we do have several demonstrations that have yet been add to these lists and are being added over time.
