Swinging Chimpanzee
Chimpanzees use their long,
strong arms to swing from tree to
tree through the forests of
Tanzania.
Follow the instructions to build
your own swinging chimpanzee.
When the chimpanzee moves up,
it gains energy. When it swings
over the top of the branch and
comes down, it releases energy.
See physics at play in every swing!
