Abstract

A pendulum is a very useful tool in physics at least from times of Galileo Galilei. A classical "school" formula for its period is said to be valid till the amplitude 5 degrees.

We will show that even with simple tools it is possible to investigate how it is for larger amplitudes. Some suggestions of other experiments concerning a pendulum are also presented.
