Product Details

What determines the period of a pendulum’s swing? Is it the weight of the plumb bob, the length of the pendulum or the height at which it is set in motion? Flinn’s quick and easy setup allows students to run a variety of experiments to discover the properties of a pendulum’s swing. Teacher Notes, reproducible student handouts and all specialized equipment are provided. Timers, meter sticks and support stands with rings are required but not included.

Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
