This is a high school lesson plan on the topic of periodic motion. Students analyze data obtained from high-energy satellites of various binary stars orbital periods, then construct their own pendulum in a hands-on lab. The lesson provides multiple animated instructions to help students through each step of the process. It was developed by the Imagine the Universe project through NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
