This lesson examines the idea of periodic behavior and how it is determined
from a set of data. The students will examine this concept through a hands-on
lab that involves a simple, student-made pendulum which is followed up
with critical thinking and performance assessment style questions. Students
will also analyze data received from high-energy satellites of various
binary star systems' orbital periods or stellar rotation periods.
