This activity assesses students' knowledge and understanding of simple harmonic motion.

In this activity, students learn about the differential equations used to model the simple harmonic motion of a block attached to a spring. They study the effect of air resistance on the motion and create an animation to describe its...

A page which cross-references various museum exhibits pertaining to harmonic motion. Page also contains an animation depicting the sinusoidal nature of simple harmonic motion.

An interactive simulation that teaches about periodic motion, simple harmonic motion, and conservation of energy. Observe one or two pendulums to determine how the swing is influenced by the length of the string, the mass of the pendulum...

Shows how simple harmonic motion is used in a circuit comprised of an inductor and a capacitor. Includes detailed formula derivation utilizing calculus.

The tutorial explores applications of trigonometric graphs. Topics include simple harmonic motion and angular velocity. Definitions, an animation, examples, and practice exercises are included.

This experiment allows the period, displacement, velocity, and acceleration of a mass suspended on a spring to be investigated by data logging the output from a motion sensor. It is an example of simple harmonic motion.

Students investigate the motion of a simple pendulum through direct observation and data collection using Android devices and the AccelDataCapture app.

Using a simulation, students will determine that the pendulum period is affected by the length of the pendulum and gravity but not mass in this activity.

During this project, students will be asked to design a device that will measure out a time period of exactly 3 minutes. They will be asked to brainstorm ideas using the different materials provided. Students will observe and explain the...
