This resource is a lesson plan in which students investigate factors that affect the speed of a swinging pendulum in order to understand the continual transfer of kinetic to potential energy in a pendulum system. Students gain an understanding of the relationships of mass, length, and angle to period of a pendulum. The resource includes a teacher handout with tips and student questions. Answers are not provided. The associated simulation can be found here: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/pendulum-lab
