Pendulum Assessment:

Purposes, General for all Labs:
    To become familiar with swinging pendulums.
    To understand terminology related to swinging pendulums.
    To understand variables associated with swinging pendulums
    To determine significant differences in swinging pendulum set-ups.
    One specific to each lab written by student

Hypothesis:
    #1-What percent of  change is significant?

    #2-How will string length affect the period?

    #3-How will arc affect the period?

    #4-To be determined by the student

Materials:
    Ring stand
    Strings
    Large Paper clips
    Washers
    Protractor
    Stopwatch
    Metric Ruler

Sketch:
    Draw the swinging pendulum set-up
    Label the following: string length, arc, and mass
    Draw an arrow to indicate one period
