GALILEO AND THE PENDULUM
While reading about Galileo's life we learnt that Galileo was bored in church one day and he began observing a very large incense burner swinging from side to side. He started timing the incense burner with his pulse. We did some experiments using string and a piece of plasticine, and then timed the swings of the string changing the distance of the plasticine up and down the string. This experiment can be found at http://www.experiment-resources.com/pendulum-experiment.html .
