September 10th-11th--our first lab

Today we received our textbooks (Sound and Light), read pages 138-139 about the scientific method, and then worked on a lab that investigated pendulums. We looked at the effects on the period of vibration of a pendulum when we changed 1) the mass on the pendulum, 2) the arc length we swung the pendulum and 3) the length of the pendulum itself.

The lab will be due on Monday for A day classes, Tuesday for B day classes and it must be in our class lab format.
