Using a pendulum, a stopwatch, and measuring tools, they observed the pendulum\u2019s oscillations and recorded the time taken for multiple swings.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure accuracy, students repeated the experiment several times, calculated the average time period, and compared their observations. Through this investigation, they discovered that the length of the pendulum affects its time period, while the mass of the bob has little to no effect.<\/p>\n<p>The activity encouraged students to think like scientists by making careful observations, collecting data, and drawing conclusions based on evidence. It also strengthened their practical skills, teamwork, and understanding of an important physics concept.<\/p>\n<p>This engaging experiment demonstrated that learning becomes more meaningful when students explore scientific principles through real-life investigations.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-47655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090032-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090032-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090032-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090032-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090032-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090032-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090032-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090032-1140x1520.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090032-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-47656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090113-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090113-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090113-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090113-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090113-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090113-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090113-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090113-1140x1520.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.cpsglobalschool.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_090113-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During our IG Physics activity, students explored the concept of the time period of a simple pendulum through a hands-on experiment.
