A Swinging Good Day

Today we did a cool thing called "Swinging Science" it's cool because you get to put a string and different items and you get to do it with your friends oh don't forget you can do it anywhere you can tie a string. You can do it with alot of different things to tie on one of the ends. We used the scientific method to figure out how certain things would effect how far the string would swing like a pendulum. We changed the weight, length, and size of the swing to see how it effected how fast the pendulum would swing. Light things were faster and so was the medium size string. It was very cool!
