Putting the scientific method to work - grade 4

The fourth graders applied last week's notes about the scientific method to an investigation this week.  The question was asked: which type of swing will go back and forth the most with only one push, a longer swing or a shorter swing?  We created and tested a variety of pendulum lengths to find out. 
When asked what you want to tell the world that you learned today?  This was one student's reply.
"I learned that a short pendulum swings more times in 30 seconds than a long pendulum."
