When you get done, give me a top five points for each page.  This should take 15-30 minutes.

LAB on Periodic Motion: Create a series of pendulums of different length, different masses, and make them swing at an angle of no more than 10 degrees each way. Document the period of 10 swings and 1 swing in this effort. Organize your data in a spreadsheet on Google Docs. Share the spreadsheet with one another and with me at marciapowellATw-del.... using the share feature. As you go along, write any observations that you make on a sheet of paper.
