In High School I had an amazing physics teacher named Mr. Grimm, who was anything but. He brought in lots of physical ways for us to experiment with physics: human gyroscopes powered by bicycle wheels, air hockey tables for friction experiments, and rocket launching to discuss gravity. The most memorable for me was a different gravity based discussion. The experiments included a life size magnetic monkey made out of card board that hung from the ceiling from a strong magnet. A toy gun was rigged to trigger the monkey to fall when the projectile was fired. The trick: where to aim to hit the monkey? We had fun while learning how gravity affected both the projectile and the monkey.
