This lab is ready to be printed and used in your physics unit! This lab can be used to teach energy transformations! The Pendulum simulation helps students get a better understanding of potential energy, kinetic energy, and thermal energy! This energy also helps students learn about velocity, the speed and directions of the load.

Students will need a little background knowledge to be able to participate in this lab.

This resource has very specific directions so that students should be able to complete the lab with minimal teacher intervention.

Materials needed: device that can reach the internet, like a laptop (1 per group-1 per person)

This lab uses the PhET simulation that is made by the University of Colorado, the link will take you directly to the website: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/pendulum-lab/latest/pendulum-lab_all.html
