Your 'pendulum counts in-class' report has been received. Scroll down through the document to see any comments I might have inserted, and my final comment at the end.

** **
Report one line per observation. Each line should consist the length of the pendulum being observed, the 1-minute count and the scale factor by which your reported length should be multiplied to get the length of the pendulum in centimeters. The three requested quantities should be separated by commas. Each line should therefore consist of three numbers, separated by commas. Don't include any words, units, or other information in any of these lines. You may report as many lines as possible. Use the space below.
The Length distance between your wrist and your middle fingertip, 68,67
The second should be double this length, 45,45
The third should be double the length of the second, 34,32
Add your description of how you made your observations. Include an explanation of how much uncertainty there was in each observation, and explain how you arrived at your uncertainty estimate.
I followed each direction for the length of each pendulum. The number is the number of full ticks such as (start end back to start) a complete oscillation. The uncertainty around 0-6% uncertainty. The first distance is 1.52%, the second is 0, the third is 5.89%. The way I arrived at each estimate is that I divided 67/68 *100, 32/34*100.
Very good.
