Experimental Designs

The next several slides will demonstrate my proficiency in creating valid experimental designs. One slide shows the design created in Inspiration to complete an investigation into the relationship between centripetal force and speed. Another slide shows the setup I created (drawn in ClarisWorks) in analyzing the simple harmonic motion of a pendulum…...

You will need to explain the slides which demonstrate proficiency in this area. You should hyperlink to the appropriate pages.
