129th AAPT National Meeting , Sacramento, CA

Each year, AAPT organizes a High School Physics Photo Contest. Physics students around the country are challenged to submit a photo illustrating a physics concept. The students are required to take the photo themselves and include a written summary of the physics occurring in the photo. The following photos were judged at the 129th AAPT National Meeting in Sacramento, CA.
