It combines hands-on experimentation with modern sensors to deepen student understanding of simple harmonic motion and conservation of energy. Students investigate how length, mass, and amplitude affect a pendulum’s period, then extend the lab using photogates and motion sensors to analyze speed throughout the swing. A built-in whiteboard lets students record parameters, track vertical displacement, and predict maximum velocity—connecting observation, data, and theory in a single, cohesive investigation. Why Teachers Love the Pendulum Lab Enhances a classic lab with modern tools: Combines traditional pendulum experiments with photogates and motion sensors for deeper insight. Clear focus on variables: Students systematically test length, mass, and amplitude to discover what truly affects period. Built for modeling and prediction: The included whiteboard grid supports planning, recording, and energy-based predictions. Flexible and repeatable: Supports quick demos, guided inquiry, or full quantitative labs across multiple levels. Please note: The Pendulum Lab requires the Physics Workshop Stand and Timer & Photogates. The Physics Workshop Stand has universal use for the following Physics Workshop Labs: Car and Ramp Lab, Lever Lab, Gravity Lab, and Horizontal Projectile Lab. Please see the Physics Workshop Group for a complete listing of all related products.
