Students should be able to:

• Describe the movement of pendula and springs by defining the forces, setting up the equation of motion and solving simple equations of motion.
• Describe the transfer of potential to kinetic energy during the oscillation of a pendulum or a spring.
• Identify amplitude and frequency in position functions of oscillations.
• Calculate the eigenfrequency of a harmonic oscillator with given mass and spring constant.

Warmup your students: ask  activating questions at the beginning  of the lesson
