Dear Bloggers,

2S were given the challenge to design and make a swing that: was stable, had a safe balanced seat for one and the period of the swing, that is the time taken for it to swing backwards and forwards once, was as long a possible.  We used stop watches to time the duration of 10 complete backwards and forwards motions and compared results.

Students discovered that the swings with the longest strings or side arms took the greatest time to swing backwards and forwards.

 

 

Thanks for calling by.
