This document provides teacher support material for an investigation into physics. It outlines an experiment where students will measure how the period of a pendulum is affected by the length of the string and the mass of the pendulum bob. The document gives instructions on setting up the experiment, variables to control and measure, ways to record and analyze data, and examples of results. It aims to help students understand how pendulum motion is governed by gravity and that period is directly proportional to the square root of the length and inversely proportional to the square root of mass.
