Science and PE - FAVORITE!
The Science of Spin has been a favorite program among students and staff since its development in 1990. Designed to teach the physics of spin and address state science concepts, students are introduced to age-appropriate science concepts such as gyroscopic stability, planes of spin, distribution of mass, friction, gravity, levers and more!
Program includes a yo-yo demo, yo-yoing tips and demonstrations with a variety of spinning objects such as wheels, spin tops, flying discs, gyroscopes, diabolos to teach science in a fun way.
The all-day program option continues in PE where students have a hands-on experience learning basic yo-yo skills, encouraging the benefits of practice.

The option chosen by 99% of schools
Once the students have seen and have been successful with the art of yo-yoing, many will decide to purchase a yo-yo somewhere, likely not of the high quality used in class.
If the PTA, PE Department, School Store or other entity agrees to offer yo-yos and spin tops for sale for 5 days following the program, the day-long program is entirely FREE*. There is no minimum required amount to sell. The school only agrees to have them available for purchase to students who wish to buy one. Yo-yos are guaranteed unbreakable, take-apart for easy string maintenance, initially set for beginner's play and reasonably priced at $7.00 and $11.00, which includes the sales tax. (Professional yo-yo is $20.) Should you desire, you may increase prices by $1.00 each in order to receive 10% of the total sale back for your school or PE department.
'Science of Spin' pays all required sales taxes, so the school entity does not need to use a tax free day or pay any sales taxes on the sale of these items regardless of the pricing structure chosen. 'Science of Spin' also covers all travel expenses with the FREE option.
* The 'FREE' Option is available to schools with a student population of 350 or more. For smaller schools, 1/2 day or other arrangements can be made.
