The Monkey and the Zookeeper

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 begin. There is no need for an activity sheet for this Interactive.
