Content
Here are some of the questions
you
might try to answer or discuss in your report: What is a
Foucault's
Pendulum? What is it supposed to demonstrate. Would
Foucault Pendulums at different locations around the world
behave
differently. Have you ever seen a Foucault Pendulum.
You
might try to find an interesting video of a Foucault Pendulum
(if you
do please include the web address or a citation). You do
not need to worry about the mathematical explanation in the
middle of the Wikipedia article.
Writing Quality
Explain the material in your
own
words - your report should be your understanding and explanation
of the
material. Try to include specific
details and examples from the reading section. Try to
imagine
explaining the topic to someone else that is unfamiliar with
it. Your
report
should be
nearly free of misspelled words and grammatical errors.
