In this physics lab activity students investigate how mass, length and angular displacement affect the period of a simple pendulum. Students control variables, testing one variable at a time, using manual techniques (stopwatch, human...

Students work as engineers and learn to conduct controlled experiments by changing one experimental variable at a time to study its effect on the experiment outcome. Specifically, they conduct experiments to determine the angular...

Students input data relating the values of one variable associated with values of another and use these data to generate a scatterplot. From the scatterplot, they determine whether there is a correlation between the two variables and...
