An interactive simulation that teaches about periodic motion, simple harmonic motion, and conservation of energy. Observe one or two pendulums to determine how the swing is influenced by the length of the string, the mass of the pendulum bob, the strength of gravity, the amplitude of the swing, and friction. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and additional materials.
