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. If you use unfamiliar terms such as
"sidereal day" you should explain them. Your report should
be nearly free of misspelled words and grammatical errors.
