In the FlinnPREP™ Inquiry Lab for AP® Physics 1: Simple Pendulums, students investigate the properties of pendulums and design an experiment to test and identify variables to determine what affects the period of a pendulum’s swing.

Includes access to exclusive FlinnPREP™ digital content to combine the benefits of classroom, laboratory and digital learning. Each blended learning lab solution includes prelab videos about concepts, techniques and procedures, summary videos that relate the experiment to the AP® exam, built-in student lab safety training with assessments, and standards-based, tested inquiry labs with real sample data. FlinnPREP™ Inquiry Lab Solutions are adaptable to you and how you teach with multiple ways to access and run your AP labs.

Product Details

AP Physics 1, Big Idea 3, Investigation 10

The motion of a pendulum is simple harmonic—a classic real-world example is the timekeeping swing of a grandfather clock. Pendulums are excellent simple devices that can be used to study kinetic and potential energy. In this advanced-inquiry activity, students investigate the properties of swinging pendulums and design an experiment to test and identify multiple variables to determine what affects the period of a pendulum’s swing.

Students begin with an introductory activity to learn the proper experimental technique. Then the guided-inquiry activity leads students to determine variables that may affect the period of a pendulum’s swing. Possible variables students should consider include the measurements and physical properties of the given materials and experimental setups. Interpreting the data and incorporating graphical analysis confirms relationships between the tested variables.

FLINNprep is just one of the powerful learning pathways accessed via PAVO, Flinn’s award-winning gateway to standards-aligned digital science content paired with hands-on learning.


Complete for 24 students working in pairs. All materials are reusable.
