Titre Modelling Motion
Description This activity uses the pendulum lab to allow students to investigate the motion of a pendulum, relationship between acceleration, velocity and displacement and the principles of energy transformation and conservation. Students will use the simulation to manipulate variables such as the length of the pendulum, the amplitude of the swing, or the mass of the bob, and observe how these changes affect the motion of the pendulum. The teacher will guide students through the experiment, prompting them to collect and analyze data, draw conclusions based on their observations, and make connections to real-world scenarios. The goal of this activity is to help students develop a deeper understanding of the principles of energy transformation and conservation, the relationship between displacement, acceleration, and velocity, and connection to real-world situations.
