So I've just begun my year 10 SRP on the effect the length of the string of a pendulum has on its period and have a few questions as I don't believe I get to ask my teacher (it's kind of strict, no devices + not allowed to bring book for the report home + no science notes that wasn't our classwork + can only refer to information from our topic's reference sheet and textbooks + same topic = you can't sit on the same table, no feedback on draft, every teacher marks a specific topic) which is why it's unlikely I can really get any answers.
For the research (essentially the pendulum formula + definitions of related terms), how should I place it in my report, or specifically how do I relate this to my aim and hypothesis as it essentially already proves my hypothesis? My draft hypothesis is "To investigate", however should I change this to something else such as "To observe" or "To measure"?
Also, I'm confused about how I should do a control test for this experiment as I can't really set the independent variable (length of string) to zero as it wouldn't be a pendulum anymore.
