Description
Help students think and work like real physicists with this student-designed pendulum investigation focused on exploring the relationship between amplitude and period. This resource emphasizes experimental design, data analysis, and scientific argumentation—not just following a recipe.
Perfect for AP Physics 1, honors physics, or advanced high school physical science.
✅ Student-Friendly Lab Report Checklist (100 pts)
- Step-by-step checklist students can self-monitor
- Explicit alignment to AP Physics skills and NGSS Science & Engineering Practices
- Covers:
- Introduction & hypothesis
- Background & theory
- Methods (materials, diagram, procedure)
- Data tables & graphs
- Analysis
- Conclusion, assumptions, percent error, and error reduction
- Organization, communication, and group work
