Period vs Length of a Pendulum

In this take home lab, students will enter and analyse their data and determine whether the relationship between the period of a pendulum and its length is linear or not. Class data will be aggregated so the students can develop a model for the relationship between the period and ther length using residuals. In part 4, they determine the value of `g` from their slope. [Note: in this case, amplitude and mass (and preliminary length) have already been tested as an in-class lab design.] Updated version: 24-05-20
