Pendulum Activity
Completion requirements
This activity can be done in an Advanced Algebra 1 class, Algebra 2 class, Trig Class, or Physics class. The final goal is to determine the acceleration due to gravity (g) which on earth should be near 9.8 m/s2. Topics reviewed: linear functions, power functions, regression, r2 values, solving a literal equation, graphing points, modeling with functions, direct variation, and period of a simple pendulum.
