Take a picture of one of the pendulums

2) Discuss any problems that was encountered while setting up or conducting the experiment.

3)List several controlled variables for this experiment. Think about what to do exactly the same in each experiment/trial to get reliable results?

4) How could you improve the experimental design to minimize sources of human error in the experiment?

5) Conduct a lab report for the pendulum experiment

Problem/Question: Does the number of times a pendulum swings depend on the weight attached or the length of the pendulum?

Hypothesis: Before beginning your experiment and without doing any research, Conduct a hypothesis for the question above. You have 4 possible hypotheses: 1) The weight attached affects the number of swings, 2) The length of the string affects the number of swings, 3) Both the weight and length affect the number of swings, or 4) Neither the length or the weight affect the number of swings. Choose one of these as your hypothesis. (Keep in mind that scientists often do not know the answer when conducting an experiment. The results of your experiment will help you determine if your hypothesis is valid or invalid.)
