This morning we had a guest speaker talking to us about the human brain and the five simple parts of it. It was obvious that he was very interested in his studies of the human brain. Later that day we got into our clusters and worked on a pendulum simulation where we tested whether weight and/or length of the string would effect the speed at which the pendulum swung. It was concluded that the amount of weight put on the pendulum has no effect on the speed of the swing of the pendulum. On the other hand it was found that the length of the string has a tremendous effect on how fast the pendulum swings.
