Students make a pendulum with a length of string and a small heavy weight. They will need somewhere to suspend your pendulum so that it can swing freely. They then work with a partner to investigate whether the length of a pendulum affects its swing. They will need to try different lengths for the pendulum, work out the average time of swing for each length and graph the results.<\/p>\n<p>Students should write a report of their investigation explaining the aim, methodology,<br \/>\nresults (including graphs) and conclusions. The report should include a discussion of how they could extend or refine the investigation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\" width=\"616\"><strong>Assessment options : <\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\" width=\"616\"><strong>Teacher notes : <\/strong>A new task, first run scheduled for 2016.
