5. Pendulum Laboratory Report
Data Plots included in body of report
O1 P1: x-y scatter-plot of T vs. L for all amplitudes – 4 plots on one using four series (a=5, 10, 15, 20 degrees)
O1 P2: x-y scatter-plot of Log T vs. Log L for the “best” data plot in #1 above
O2 P3, use O1 P2 above
O3: T vs. L points for m = 1, 2, 3, or another appropriate plot
O4: use O1 P1 above

7. Pendulum Laboratory Report
Write-up
How do your graphs and results support or refute the theory of a simple pendulum?  Your purpose here is to discuss, in writing, what evidence there is that indicates (or does not indicate) that the theory is correct.  Do not do any calculations for this question.  Instead, refer to the shapes, features, and types of relations and equations shown on the graph(s).  Be sure to discuss each part of the lab.
