Head into the lab to set up your pendulum to investigate how the length of the string effects the time of the pendulum swing..

This activity will help you identify the benefits of

working as a team.

CHALLENGE!

Predict, Observe, Explain..

Predict what you think might happen in each case above before you watch them👆🏽 Watch the two videos then describe what you observe. Explain why you think this is so.

Once you have done three repeats for each of your different string lengths we can write up the pendulum experiment in your logbooks. We will do this together in class to ensure you are able to write up the experiment like a scientist 🙌🏻 🙌🏻
