Multimedia Science is offering a FREE Android version of the Projectile Hoops software for physics or physical science teachers.

In the Projectile Hoops software, a ball is shot into projectile motion with a known angle and initial velocity. Students must place three hoops at the correct vertical distance to intercept the projectile. A score is kept for each ten tries and can be added to a high score table.
