This is a classroom demonstration version of Lab 14 from "Physics with Calculators"

In this physics lab activity students investigate how mass, length and angular displacement affect the period of a simple pendulum. Students control variables, testing one variable at a time, using manual techniques (stopwatch, human...

The Illinois Institute of Technology offers this lesson plan to teach high school young scholars the concept of periodic motion and relate it to the movement of a pendulum.

In this lesson plan students are "given one hour to solve a problem that a has caused a huge drop in sales" for a clock company. All clocks are five minutes slow. Because of this, they must find a way to put the clock back on time...

This is a performance task for Grade Four students where they observe two different pendulums and compare the two types of motion. The activity is designed for a lab setting where students work at individual stations. A rubric and...

This resource presents a collection of experiments for the science classroom that focuses on physics concepts for Halloween. Activities include mirror ghost with a concave mirror, apple oscillators with pendulums, and a pumpkin pendulum....

In this interactive activity adapted from the University of Utah's ASPIRE Lab, students will investigate frequency in terms of trampoline jumps, pendulum swings, and electromagnetic waves.
