Each year the American Association of Physics Teachers runs a high school physics photo contest. Students around the world compete both on the quality of a photo they have taken of a natural scene or a contrived situation and on their explanation of the physics it illustrates. Charles F. Bingaman, in John Millard’s class at the Sacramento Waldorf School, garnered one of the top spots in the contrived category with this photo and the caption below.
