Spin · Level 7
Open rung →The Breakaway
A sideways throw across the body that holds spin for 5 seconds.
How it demonstrates this: Predict the path of a side throw before testing — a force-and-motion claim/evidence task.
Practice the trick →NGSSMS-PS2-2
Forces predict motion (Grade 6-8)
Students model how string tension and yo-yo mass affect spin duration on a string mount.

Forces predict motion
This is a science skill — you’re thinking like a scientist when you yeet. You model how string tension and yo-yo mass affect spin duration on a string mount.
Try it now
Yeet The Breakaway 5 times. After each try, predict what will happen on the next throw — then test your prediction.
Ladder practice sessions
These rungs on the Trick Ladder give students a structured practice session that demonstrates this standard.
Flow · Level 11
Open rung →Brain Twister
Mount, complete a full 3-loop somersault, dismount cleanly.
How it demonstrates this: Students predict the spin loss across a 3-step combo and test their estimate.
Practice the trick →Master · Level 13
Open rung →Boingy Boing
Sustain 5 boings before string slip or spin loss.
How it demonstrates this: Students model the bouncing yo-yo as a repeating push/pull system.
Practice the trick →Tricks that demonstrate this
Tricks in these categories carry the teaching emphasis tied to this standard.
Why this category: Students model how string tension and yo-yo mass affect spin duration on a string mount.
