Understand what Foucault’s Pendulum is and its historical significance.
Learn how a pendulum demonstrates the rotation of the Earth.
Understand the concept of plane of oscillation.
Observe how the pendulum’s motion changes with latitude.
Develop scientific thinking through hands-on observation and experimentation.
Foucault’s Pendulum provides clear experimental evidence that the Earth rotates.
The pendulum continues to swing in the same plane, while Earth rotates beneath it.
The apparent change in swing direction depends on the latitude of the location.
This experiment connects simple harmonic motion with Earth science.
Hands-on models help transform abstract physics concepts into visual understanding.
