By changing the pendulum length and measuring the effects, they will gain firsthand experience with core physics ideas like period, gravity, and oscillation. This lab is aligned to Next Generation Science Standards and facilitates key educational goals for middle and high school students. Learners will: Discover how pendulum length impacts swing period Practice forming hypotheses and collecting data Analyze results to identify patterns and variables' Develop scientific thinking skills including critical analysis This experiment can also be used for a variety of grade levels and learning abilities. It's a very simple lab but one that is meant to test your students' ability to perform the scientific method rather then test their previous understanding. Inside the lab you get: Step-by-step guidance for setup and facilitation Best practices for reliable data Reflection questions that relate specifically to the lab Extension questions to build on concepts

For example: Role plays: The students act out scenes from the respective historical context. Dialogues: The students create dialogues between different characters of the respective era with the finger puppets. Inventing stories: The students develop their own stories with the finger puppets and develop the factual topics as a background.
