Creating an Animated Monkey and Hunter in Excel
Game Plan: First: To insert the slider (scroll bar) go to View/Toolbars and click Control Toolbox. Now for the coordinates of the monkey, and graphing the monkey
Graphing the monkey Now try out the graph of the monkey, animating it using the slider. You should see the monkey falling as the time increases, eventually disappearing below the x-axis.

Now for the bullet.

You will notice that the bullet doesn't hit the monkey, and that the bullet hits the ground even before reaching the monkey.

These are problems you may want to let your students solve for themselves. You may want to start them off with g=0, and then they will see the bullet miss the monkey in any case. They must fix the problem of missing the monkey.

They should be able to predict with some discussion whether the bullet will hit the monkey when gravity is turned on.
