They tried with the mass, the release<br />

position and the l<strong>en</strong>gth of the string. They<br />

also learned how to design a controlled experim<strong>en</strong>t.<br />

Parallelograms<br />

Stud<strong>en</strong>ts developed the concept of some<br />

geometric shapes working together, discussing<br />

differ<strong>en</strong>t perspectives and recognizing<br />

relationships among quadrilaterals.<br />
