4. You will need a copy of the program "Graphical Analysis" (an older version of Logger Pro 3.6) for which we have a site license, for your home computer. Go to Yahoo! mail, username = lewiston_supernova password = stargazer. You will find an email in the "inbox" that says "graphical analysis". Put all three attached files into one folder on your computer. One file looks like a text file but you need to download it to make the program work.

2. Do the Pendulum Prelab and work on pendulum lab
*If you are absent during the day we collect data for the lab, you can take data using this simulation: PhET Pendulum Lab. Since this is a simulation, you do not need to do multiple trials for each length, etc, because there is no experimental error. Find the period for at least 10 different lengths, 10 masses, and 10 angles ( 30^o or less). Don't forget to record the values you hold constant for each experiment.

Thu 9/17 (B3), Fri 9/18 (W1,4)

Wed 9/23 (B3), Thu 9/24 (W1,4)
1. Finish pendulum lab (see note below).** Read Most Common Errors on Motorized Car Lab Report and the Lab Report Grading Sheet for help with writing this first major lab report- lab reports are due Thu 10/1 (B3), Fri 10/2 (W1,4)
2. Do Unit 1 Review - due next class

**NOTES ON GRAPHS FOR LAB:

• You need three graphs:  average period vs mass, average period vs amplitude, and average period vs length.
• After you “autoscale” a graph, remember to put (0,0) back on your graph.  If you don’t, small differences in data points may be exaggerated on the y-axis.
• Even if you have a good correlation, a line may not be the best fit if the y-intercept doesn’t make sense.  In this lab, if you have a sloped line with a y-intercept, you should also try a side-opening parabola.
