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 Universal Stand is required for each add-on.

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.
