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.

Anti-Bullying and PE

Science and PE - FAVORITE!
The Power of Spin was designed in 2019 to address the need for character development and positive behaviors in the school setting.
Spinning tops and yo-yos are used throughout the assembly to demonstrate anti-bullying and tolerance concepts.
By identifying powerful spinning objects in our world which show great strength and stability, students learn:
- how to turn a bad situation around
- that they all possess the greatest 'Super Power' - the power to change and shift directions.
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.

NOTE: In order to run a successful yo-yo unit in PE, each student will need access to an approved Science of Spin yo-yo. Other yo-yos will not function as well and will cause frustration among students.
In addition, to allow for safe yo-yo practice in the world of COVID-19, practice yo-yo may not be shared. Each student will need to have access to their own Science of Spin yo-yo.
Options include:
1) Science of Spin will loan the school enough yo-yos for each student, however, it will be the responsibility of the school that students always use the same yo-yo if practicing for multiple days. A ziploc baggie is ideal for this purpose.
2) NO FEE OPTION: Each student would be required to have their own Science of Spin yo-yo for practice in PE, either purchased by the school or each student. Because this would involve sale to the entire school population, the yo-yo prices would be reduced significantly to near wholesale prices. Call for details.

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.
