Show and Tell

[Karl Trappe <trappe@PHYSICS.UTEXAS.EDU>]

The PIRA folks have been at it again.  Keith Warren at NC State just posted
the PIRA DCS (demonstration classification scheme) to the web at:
http://www.physics.ncsu.edu/pira

We still await final approval to make it available from AAPT.

There are a number of very useful sites (which point to each other
eventually) which can be found via my own Lecture Demo Home Page at UTexas
at Austin.  It is maintained by Andrew Yue.  Start at:
http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~phy-demo/
Scroll to the bottom to "Demonstration Resources at Other Universities"
this goes to:  http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~demog/resources.html
 From there you have hot links to numerous university sites for
demonstrations and other resources.

Enjoy, (and send Keith a thanks if you find it useful) Karl
