Pendulum
Experiment with a simple pendulum and observe how it behaves when changing the initial angle
- Ultraconcurrent labs
- University & College
- High School
Laboratory information
With this experiment, you can control the initial angle of the load, and see the behavior in a real simple pendulum. This experiment will provide you a set of real data that you can use to analyze the behavior of the pendulum depending on the particular millisecond, speed, oscillation length, etc. You can also attach weights to the pendulum.
What students do
Operate real equipment and reason from the measurements.

Pendulum activities (Students)
Pendulum for secondary

Basic activity of the pendulum when it interacts with different angles and masses. This activity will be done at the same time as interacting with the pendulum in the laboratory, in order to understand how physical quantities affect it.
Galileo's Pendulum
Pendulum for elementary school.

Activity to introduce the behavior of a pendulum to primary school students. The period of the pendulum will be studied by changing the characteristics of the pendulum (starting angle, weight,...) to determine what its value is subject to. It is not necessary to know the physical properties or the mathematical formulas that describe the pendulum to carry out the activity.
