Elementary Art Lesson Plan
STEAM Pendulum Painting
Objective: To understand Isaac Newton’s 1st Law of Motion, while visually seeing the effect of gravity on a moving object. Create a pattern using a spherical pendulum and predict how variables will change the look of the painting.
Objective: To understand Isaac Newton’s 1st Law of Motion, while visually seeing the effect of gravity on a moving object. Create a pattern using a spherical pendulum and predict how variables will change the look of the painting.
Materials:
- Paper
- Place to hang a pendulum
- String
- Metal washer
- One large paperclip
- Paint (mixed with equal parts water)
- Small waxed paper cups
- One sharp pencil
- Newspaper for catching messes
- Sharpie markers
- Watercolor paint
Open the Conversation:
Start by discussing Newton’s 1st Law of Motion. Assemble the pendulum and ask students to predict what pattern it will make and what variables could affect it.
Step One:
Find a place to hang your pendulum string so that it is just above a flat surface with a string between 8 and 12 inches long.
Step Two:
Tie washer to your string.
Step Three:
Bend paperclip into a “W” shape and slip it onto the washer.

Step Four:
Poke a little hole in the bottom of a paper cup with a pencil.
Step Five:
Poke a hole on each side of the top of the cup and slip the paper clip through the holes to make a bucket on your pendulum.
Step Six:
Holding a finger over the hole on the bottom of the cup, grasp the cup and pour a bit of paint in the cup – it should be the consistency of ink.
Step Seven:
When releasing your cup, aim it at a slight curve so that it will travel in a circular direction.
Step Eight:
Once finished, keep the painting flat while drying.
Step Nine:
Plan out a picture to integrate with your spiral background using a cut-out of a drawing or a stencil to trace onto your paper in pencil. Trace with Sharpie for a bold outline.
Step Ten:
Paint in shapes and parts of the background to complete a colorful, complete work of art.
Note: If you have painted with acrylic-based paints, using water color over the paint will not disturb your spirals. If you have used tempera or other non-permanent paint, take care to go around the lines so they do not blur
