WHY? The pendulum becomes a very important piece of equipment in measuring gravity. Because the value of gravity can be calculated in this manner, many experiments can be conducted using the pendulum. Pendulums can be made in a variety of ways. Use your imagination to think of an another way to make a pendulum. ASSESSMENT: Can the student communicate what they observed?

Student is able to express how the pendulum is used to find the value of gravity. The student can also create another way to make a pendulum using simple objects. Student is able to express many of the reasons how the pendulum is used to find the value of gravity. The student can also create another way to a make a pendulum using simple objects.
