Pendulum experiment

During our variables unit, students are investigating pendulums. They are changing one variable and running an experiment to see how the change in variable affects the experiment. Students are following the Scientific Method. Students investigate a question like 'how does the length of a pendulum affect its number of swings?' Next they developed a hypothesis and created an experiment to test whether their hypothesis was right or not. Ask your child about these experiments...they are great thinking scientists.
