Philip Harris Foundation Physics - Pendulum

Philip Harris Foundation Physics - Pendulum

CP00054184

Product code: CP00054184

Foundation Physics - Pendulum

Please Note: The Foundation Physics Universal Stand is not included and will need to be purchased separately using code PP00054183.

  • The Foundation Physics range centres around the Universal Stand and includes accessories which allow a wide range of experiments to be conducted. Each add-on includes a comprehensive instructional guide with student tasks which are linked to the curriculum.

The Foundation Physics Pendulum, when used with the Foundation Physics Universal Stand (available separately), enables users to adjust the string length and the mass of a pendulum. A large protractor makes angle measurements easy to read, and a photogate system could be attached at the bottom of the swing arc to record the period. 

The Pendulum includes:

  • Protractor backboard
  • String, pendulum
  • Mounting screw
  • Instructions.
  • Teacher's Guide
  • Students Guide

Additional apparatus required:

  • Foundation Physics Universal Stand
  • Balance
  • Photogate System
  • Meter Ruler 
  • Combine with the Foundation Physics Universal Stand (available separately) to teach around and demonstrate Motion and Forces.
  • Suitable for staff and student use.
  • The Foundation Physics range centres around the Universal Stand and includes accessories which allow a wide range of experiments to be conducted. Each add-on includes a comprehensive instructional guide with student tasks which are linked to the curriculum.
  • Key Stage 3 Physics - Energy: Other processes that involve energy transfer: changing motion, dropping an object, completing an electrical circuit, stretching a spring, metabolism of food, burning fuels
  • Key Stage 3 Physics - Motion and Forces: Forces being needed to cause objects to stop or start moving, or to change their speed or direction of motion (qualitative only).  Forces: associated with deforming objects; stretching and squashing – springs; with rubbing and friction between surfaces, with pushing things out of the way; resistance to motion of air and water.  Non-contact forces: gravity forces acting at a distance on Earth and in space, forces between magnets, and forces due to static electricity.
  • Key Stage 4 Physics - Motion & Forces: Conservation of energy. Factors affecting the period of a pendulum. Calculating gravity. Conservation of Mechanical Energy

Activities could include:

  • Introduction to conservation of energy
  • Factors affecting the period of a pendulum
  • Calculating gravity
  • Conservation of Mechanical Energy

The Foundation Physics Universal Stand is not included with the Pendulum.  It is available to purchase separately.
