A comprehensive resource gets fourth grade physical scientists making observations about the period of a pendulum and then applying knowledge to a playground swing. Through seven different stations, they will record observations and measurements about how the pendulum works. You will find everything you need except the stopwatches, meter sticks, graph paper, and the pendulums themselves. Otherwise, find printable handouts, detailed teacher notes, procedures, and a slide show presentation for conducting this with your class.
