On Thursday 4th April, we were given a piece of paper on how to set out a science experiment on our own and created our own which was all to do with pendulums. First of all we had to decided on a name (question on what we would investigate) for our investigation. Secondly Miss gave us a post-it each to write our predictions on. Many of year 6 added a link to real life in their investigation. Miss then came round to check them before telling us to copy them into our books and carrying on with our investigation, step by step, without ANY help!
Then, in the afternoon we carried out our investigations, and, funnily enough, we all chose the same theme for our investigation: How does the length of a piece of string affect the number of oscillations a pendulum makes? Me and my group found out that the smaller the length of string, the greater the amount of oscillations a pendulum makes. Finally, we created tables and graphs using our recorded information.
