These banners were inspired by the article, "Additional Crime Scenes for Projectile Motion Unit", by Dan Fullerton and David Bonner, The Physics Teacher, Vol. 49, December 2011. Available here, (if you subscribe to The Physics Teacher magazine.) The article gives you the basics setup and the text to use with the students. These banners give you something to measure. There is one correction. In the article, it mentions a set up where the sky diver is 14 stories up. For this scale, the sky diver is 7 stories up.
See the instructions below if you want to order a banner sized image, 1.6ft x 3 ft of any of these.
