Coupled Resonant Pendulums
published by the Exploratorium
This site from the Exploratorium uses everyday materials to show the exchange of energy between two coupled pendulums.  The site provides a thorough description of how the two pendulums interact and contrasts their motion.  The site also describes an easy to find the rate of energy exchange.
