Another suggestion to liven up the Interactive Physics demo of the monkey and the hunter is to add a slider that changes the direction of the initial velocity. A favorite of mine is also to provide buttons to change the frame of reference that the observer watches the simulation. i've written my interaction as shooting at a falling star, when the "bullet" hits the star, look at the situation from the stars frame of reference and have the students explain what they see. I've found that adding sliders and buttons to make changes allows for much easier manipulation of variables. But, this still comes nowhere near replacing the actual demo! Pat Callahan
