Graphing Pendulum Results
Sixth graders set up a pendulum experiment deciding which variable to manipulate (length of string or weight on the string). They create a hypothesis, collect necessary equipment, and write out each step of their experiment. They then...

The Little Prince and his Pendulum
In this function worksheet, students read a fairy tale about a prince on a tiny planet. They explore the length of a pendulum and gravitational acceleration. Students use the multi-variable change rule to compute the rate of change. ...
Curated OER
Oscillations
Students construct and compare the actions of various pendulums. In this pendulum motion lesson, students build and test different types of pendulums. They conduct experiments with the length of the swing arm and apply mathematical...

The Robot Artist--Aaron
This is a creative multidisciplinary lesson which will involve students in art, technology, and psychology. Students learn about Harold Cohen who created a robot programmed to create art. Students will also enjoy the sand pendulum...
Curated OER
Frequency vs. Size
Students identify and interpret sound as a vibration and what period and frequency are. They also divide the various types of objects so that all objects are explored and the procedures are determined by the students.
Finally, students...

The Oscillation Period of Gaseous Spheres
In this oscillation period learning exercise, students read about how the force of gravity effects the oscillation of bodies. Students use two given formulas to identify the oscillation period of the sun, the Earth and a neutron star.

Series Solution of the Time-Independent Schrödinger Equation
In this math worksheet, young scholars find the solutions to the problems that apply the time-independent Schrödinger equation. They examine the relationship between the mass and energy.
