Joe Ferguson and Jack Denson
published by the MSU Department of Physics and Astronomy
This item is an introductory undergraduate lab designed to promote understanding of the scientific method. Using a simple pendulum apparatus, students design an experiment to determine factors affecting the period of the pendulum. Tasks include hypothesis statement, identification of independent/dependent variables, data collection, graphing data, and analysis of results. This item is part of a larger collection of introductory physics labs by the authors.
