Understanding pendulum motion is fundamental to the study of vibrations and waves. This Pendulum Investigation Kit includes everything necessary for a full exploration of the basic features of pendulum motion in a complete but economical set. The individual components are of proven design. The drilled balls have a larger hole on one end than the other to allow suspension at the center of mass, and the triple support features clamps that make adjusting the cord length precise and easy. Students can assess the principal factors of mass, length, and amplitude and even venture into a consideration of air resistance.

Kit contents include 6 drilled balls: 2 x 1″ Steel Drilled Ball, 2 x 1″ Aluminum Drilled Ball, 2 x 1″ Wood Drilled Ball; Pendulum Support with 3 Positions and Clamp; Half-Meter Stick; 6″ x 9″ Support Base, with 24” Support Rod; Stopwatch; and Pendulum Cord, Roll.

• Complete kit allows investigation of the features of pendulum motion
• Triple support allows simultaneous two-factor experiments
• Explore the influence of mass, length, and amplitude on the motion
• Includes activity guide
