2008 AAPT High School Physics Photo Contest
Winner's Showcase
This year, physics students from around the world were challenged to submit a photo illustrating a physics concept. The students were required to take the photo themselves and to write a summary of the physics occurring in the photo. The 16 winning photos in the showcase below were judged by AAPT members to be the best of 100 finalists. The winners were chosen in July at the 2008 AAPT Summer Meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
