1 Today s Class Oscillators and Waves A college-freshman physics lab Heuristics, Measurements, Analysis A full tour of AZ / Next-Gen Science Standards (OPAC) Observe, ask questions, make predictions Plan and conduct investigations, record data Analyze data, compare to predictions Communicate results of investigations The physics of the pendulum, a simple oscillator 1
2 Observe the Pendulum A Simple Oscillator The period of the pendulum is the time it takes to make one round trip (cycle), out and back. 2
3 Plan: Write down 3 hypotheses about the period of the pendulum The period depends on displacement Accept? / Reject? (Galileo) The period depends on mass Accept? / Reject? Clear Start Stop The period depends on length Accept? / Reject? Let s Find Out!! 3
4 We Just Repeated Galileo s Experiment! 1602 Galileo is 20 yrs old He s sitting in church in Pisa, Italy He s bored!! He sees a lamp swinging overhead He times the swings with his pulse Large swings or small, he observes the period is always the same! Fascinated, he later derives the law of the pendulum 4
5 Plan and Analyze So period depends on length, but how does it depend on length? Plan, make period measurements for different-length pendulums Record the data in a table Analyze our data, using graphs 5

31 ASL Class: Oscillators and Waves Class Features Overview Built upon 2013 Next Generation Science Standards Framework Features hands-on lab with all four NGSS Framework themes 1. Observe, Question, Predict 2. Plan, Measure, Record 3. Analyze, Compare, Conclude 4. Communicate, Report Based on college-physics pendulum lab, adapted for grades 4-9 Teaches basic science concepts about oscillators and waves, e.g., Oscillators store & release energy we can watch (child on swing) Oscillators make audio waves that we can hear Oscillators make radio waves that we can send through space Increased activity & demos, reduced slide-based lecture time: Conduct experiments to accept or reject hypotheses about pendulum Measure time & distance, reduce errors by averaging Apply stopwatch, meter stick, calculator, graph paper Create one-page lab report 31
32 Sequence of Events Lab Part 1 Observe movie clip of child on swing Free-form questions and predictions whole class Our question: What determines time per swing (period)? How heavy (mass)? How far (displacement)? How long (length)? Practice time measurements as a class Construct one lab pendulum per 3-student team Test hypothesis that displacement matters; accept/reject Test hypothesis that mass matters; accept/reject Test hypothesis that length matters; accept/reject 20 minutes mins Free-form investigation meter stick, stopwatch, calculator supplied poll tables for results Real data -- discover the Law of the Pendulum Measure period vs length, record data Stopwatch, meter stick - average of 10 swings for 3-5 different lengths Plot data on X-Y graph paper (supplied with labeled axes) Re-plot data on X-Y graph paper atop theoretical curve (supplied) Report Discuss sources of error mins incl discussion more structured 32
33 Oscillators and Waves Lab Part 2 Audio (sound) oscillators and waves Demonstrations: Tuning forks, bells, wine glasses, and musical instruments Electronic audio oscillators Period (seconds) vs Frequency (Hz or roundtrips/second) Seeing sound waves: Oscilloscope Demo Spectrum Analyzer Demo Build a simple reed instrument from a soda straw Brief intro to radio & light waves (advanced) Electromagnetic waves How an AM radio works in pictures and demos Build a simple AM receiver 33
34 What Have We Studied? How to apply the scientific method Orderly creation of hypotheses Creation of experiments to accept or reject hypotheses Practical measurements of time and length Data recording and averaging to improve accuracy Graphing fundamentals why graphs help Comparing measured results to theoretical results Reporting of results 34
