PIRA Lecture Demonstrations

Facilitators: Daniel Davis, Sam Sampere, Michele Lau, Dale Stille 

Description: During this ½ day workshop, we will introduce you to the Physics Instructional Resource Association (PIRA) and the PIRA 200. Almost every demonstration one can think of has a catalog number within the Demonstration Classification System (DCS); we will introduce you to this system and the comprehensive bibliography that details journal articles and demonstration manuals for construction and use in the classroom. The PIRA 200 are the specific 200 most important and necessary demonstrations needed to teach an introductory physics course.

We will also show a subset of approximately 50 demonstrations explaining use, construction, acquisition of materials, and answer any questions in this highly interactive and dynamic environment. Ideas for organizing and building your demonstration collection will be presented. We especially invite high school physics teachers and faculty members teaching introductory physics to attend.

NOTE that this is a paperless workshop. All information and materials will be distributed on a USB thumb drive (if requested) or other method. A computer, tablet, or other device capable of viewing and/or recording the workshop will be needed.
