The Monkey and the Zookeeper Interactive provides an environment for learners to investigate that classic question - where should the zookeeper aim the banana cannon if trying to feed a monkey that lets go of a branch in a tree the moment the banana is launched? It's a great physics question and one with huge implications for zookeepers around the world.
Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. The Physics Classroom has not prepared any activities for use with this Interactive. We are confident that teachers who use our website will come up with plenty of great ideas for using the Skydiver Interactive and we invite you to share those ideas with us.
