Science: Variables Update

Students tested 3 different variables during our swingers experiment. 
They asked these questions:
  • What will happen if we change the angle that we swing from?
  • What will happen if we change the weight of the pendulum?
  • What will happen if we change the length of the swinger?


Ask your child what their results were!

Throughout our experiment we emphasized the idea that you can only change ONE variable at a time. We read about and analyzed other experiments to see if the scientist did a good job of controlling the experiment. As a final assessment we watched a Myth Busters video about protecting sneezes and analyzed how this experiment was conducted.
