The links to the right will load a student presentation from 2005 on a problem called "Ball Spin". Click through and see the level this student, Robby Kirkham, from Rye Country Day School, achieved.

How was this possible? Well, in the 21st century our students have enormous computing AND data-acquisition power in those laptops they lug around. Video analysis with digital cameras, spreadsheet modeling of equations of motion with drag and lift...it's time to start using this stuff.

Click on either photo to see a completed YPT problem. You can do this too.
