Description

Watch as energy is transferred through a pencil to make paperclips start and stop swinging. Fascinating! Just string, paperclips, a pencil, and tape are all that's needed to make a resonant pendulum.

I reformatted a few resources from "Pushes and Pulls" and "Resources for Teaching about Waves", and then added new ones to make this a fun resource for distance learning or an independent activity, including:

  • A How To guide that can be printed from a pdf file or edited in Word™. Choose to have students describe the results or read an explanation of the science involved in the activity. Students can watch videos that highlight the text as it is read for students who need to hear the information or listen to an audio only file. The How To guide and the videos are saved in both English and Spanish.

  • A video explains how to create the pendulum system and then students watch it in action. Another video explains the set up and the action of the pendulum.

  • A PowerPoint explains how to create the resonant pendulum and a video shows it in action. I made a video of the presentation.

If you have a Google account you can transfer many of these resources and then add them to your Google classroom to share with your students. You can also print the How To, short text, and essay questions worksheet to share as an activity packet.

It's difficult to suggest a duration as it depends on the options you choose.

I have dozens of products you might consider for distance learning and force. This product was reformatted from Pushes and Pulls and additional resources added to make it ideal as an independent activity or distance learning. I combined Pendulums, Resonant Pendulums, Paper Helicopters into a ♥ bundle♥ of all three products to save you $$!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSS3-PS2-1
Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. Examples could include an unbalanced force on one side of a ball can make it start moving; and, balanced forces pushing on a box from both sides will not produce any motion at all. Assessment is limited to one variable at a time: number, size, or direction of forces. Assessment does not include quantitative force size, only qualitative and relative. Assessment is limited to gravity being addressed as a force that pulls objects down.
NGSS3-PS2-2
Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion. Examples of motion with a predictable pattern could include a child swinging in a swing, a ball rolling back and forth in a bowl, and two children on a see-saw. Assessment does not include technical terms such as period and frequency.
