b. Place one AA battery in an outer seat and two AA batteries in the inner seat adjacent to it.
c. Repeat on the opposite side of the ride.

. Students should write a paragraph in their science journals about their observations and their
reflections about results.
a. What results surprised them?
b. Will they feel safer the next time they ride the swing ride? Why or why not? Explain their
answers. What did they find out through experimentation that supported their conclusions?
Whole Class
7. Students should be encouraged to discuss:
a. What happens to the swings when different weights are added. They should show their traces
on the butcher paper and also talk about their speed calculations. Teachers can ask questions
such as:
On a real world ride, does it make a difference if a person has more mass?
b. Why inner seats with larger masses do not slam into outer seats with smaller masses.
8. After allowing students to experiment with mass, the teacher can pose questions such as:
a. What would need to be done to have the swings move out further when mass is added?
b. How is this model ride different from a real world swing ride at an amusement park?
EXTENSIONS
• Students can examine what happens when more mass (more batteries) is added. Students can then
graph the data and see if there is a relationship between the number of batteries added and the
speed of the ride.
• Students can try moving the mass to different locations on the ride and see what happens to the
circular paths and to the speed.
REVIEW
• Teachers may choose to review the concepts covered in this activity:
area of a circle; radius; rotation; circumference; distance; speed
ASSESSMENT
• Student science notebooks.
• After the activities have been completed, students should be given a copy of a separate spirograph
created by the teacher and reproduced for the students. They should be asked to label the
circumference, area, diameter, and radius of the spirograph.

points.
