    The document outlines the steps of the scientific method and provides details of an experiment investigating how the length of a pendulum string affects the time taken for 10 oscillations. It includes the aim, problem statement, hypothesis, variables, materials, procedure, results table, analysis, and conclusion. The procedure is described in active and passive sentences. The results table shows that as the length of the pendulum string increases, the time taken for 10 oscillations also increases.

    The key takeaways are the steps of scientific investigation which are identifying a problem, forming a hypothesis, planning and conducting an experiment, analyzing results, and drawing a conclusion. A report for an experiment should include an aim, materials, procedure, results, analysis and conclusion.

    The steps of scientific investigation are: 1) Identifying a problem 2) Forming a hypothesis 3) Planning the experiment 4) Controlling the variables 5) Collecting data 6) Analyzing and interpreting data 7) Drawing a conclusion 8) Writing a report.

    The components of a report for a simple pendulum experiment are: an aim, problem statement, hypothesis, variables, materials and apparatus, procedure, results presented in a table, analysis including a graph, and a conclusion.

    1. AIM
    To investigate how the length of the
    pendulum string affect the time for
    10 complete swings of the pendulum.

    2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
    How the length of the pendulum
    string affect the time for 10 complete
    swings of the pendulum?

    3. HYPOTHESIS
    If the length of the pendulum is
    longer, the time taken for 10
    complete swing of the pendulum is
    longer.

    4. VARIABLES
    Manipulated (what to change)
    : the length of the pendulum
    Responding (what is observed)
    : time taken for 10 complete swings
    Constant (kept the same)
    : mass of the pendulum bob

    APPARATUS
    Pendulum bob, string/thread, retort

    6. PROCEDURE (active
    sentence)
    1. Prepare the simple pendulum with a 10cm long
    thread.
    2. Pull the pendulum bob to one side, then release.
    3. Record the time taken for 10 complete
    oscillations in a table.
    4. Repeat the experiment using a simple pendulum
    of different lengths, e.g. 20cm, 30cm, 40cm and
    50cm.
    5. Draw a graph showing the time taken versus
    length of pendulum for 10 complete oscillations.

    6. PROCEDURE (change to passive


    sentence when writing a report)
    1. A simple pendulum with a 10 cm long
    thread was prepared.
    2. The pendulum was pulled to one side,
    and then was released.
    3. The time taken for 10 complete
    oscillations was recorded in a table.
    4. The experiment was repeated using a
    simple pendulum with 20cm, 30cm, 40
    and 50cm long.

    8. ANALYSIS
    Graph of time taken for 10 complete
    oscillations versus length of simple
    pendulum.

    8. ANALYSIS
    From the graph, we can say that:
    1. The pendulum with a longer string
    longer
    takes
    time to oscillate than the
    pendulum with a shorter string.
    2. The time taken for the
    pendulum to
    increase
    make one
    complete oscillation will

    9. CONCLUSION
    From the results, the hypothesis is
    accepted
    .
    The time taken for the simple
    increases
    pendulum to make one complete
    oscillation
    with
    the length of the pendulum.
