Activity class 8th

The document outlines two activities: the first aims to study the oscillation of a simple pendulum and determine the relationship between its time period and length, while the second focuses on observing transpiration in plants. For the pendulum, it describes the setup, procedure, and results showing that time period increases with length. The transpiration activity involves covering a plant branch with a bag to observe water loss, confirming that transpiration occurs through leaves.

Aim:- Study the oscillation of simple pendulum.

Objective:- To study the oscillation of a simple pendulum and


determine the relationship between the time period and the length
of the pendulum.

Materials Required:
 String or thread
 Small dense bob (e.g., a metal ball)
 Clamp stand
 Stopwatch
 Protractor
 Meter scale
 Thread or ruler for measuring the length of the pendulum

Procedure:
1. Set up the pendulum by attaching the string to a fixed point.
Make sure the string is of the desired length.
2. Attach a small, dense bob (like a metal ball) to the other end of
the string.
3. Measure the length of the pendulum using the meter scale.
4. Displace the bob slightly (about 10–15° from the vertical) and
release it without giving it any initial push.
5. Use the stopwatch to time how long it takes the pendulum to
complete 10 oscillations (for greater accuracy).
6. Divide the total time by 10 to find the average time period of
one oscillation.
7. Repeat the above steps for different lengths of the pendulum
(e.g., 30 cm, 50 cm, 70 cm) and record the corresponding time
periods.
Results:
 As the length of the pendulum increases, the time period also
increases.
 The time period of oscillation is independent of the amplitude
(as long as the amplitude is small) and is dependent only on
the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity.

Aim:- To study the Transpiration in plant.

Objective: To study the process of transpiration in plants and


observe water loss through leaves.

Materials Required:
 A potted plant with green leaves
 Transparent polythene bag
 String or rubber band
 Cobalt chloride paper (optional)
 Forceps
 Clips or tape

Procedure:
1. Take a potted plant and cover one of its leafy branches with a
transparent polythene bag.
2. Tie the bag tightly around the stem using a string or rubber
band.
3. Leave the plant in sunlight for a few hours.
4. Observe the inner surface of the polythene bag for water
droplets.

Results: Water droplets inside the polythene bag confirm that


transpiration occurs in plants. That water loss occurs through
leaves, primarily through stomata transpiration.
