Pendulum Lab 1: Intro to pendulum (Inquiry Based) |
Description
|
This activity offers an opportunity to design and analyze a simple pendulum system. It includes some multiple choice concept questions that could be used as a follow-up. The learning goals are: 1) Design experiments to describe how variables affect the motion of a pendulum.
2) Use a period timer to determine quantitatively how the period of a pendulum depends on the variables you described. |
