Week 1B: Science Experiment
Design an experiment: Ask a testable question, and report your results. Include 2 screenshots
Define:
Independent Variables: Things we change (length of the pendulum, weight of the bob)
Dependent Variable: Things we measure( period of pendulum, loss of energy)
Constants: Things we hold constant
