**PART I:** Watch this cool intro video to see a Foucault Pendulum in action! [|Introduction Video]

**PART II:** Learn more about how it all works. [|Online Resources]

**PART III:**
 * Use [|Google Hangouts] to connect with another group at a partner school. Since the rate of precession will be different for each group because of the different locations, you will compare your groups measurements of the earth's tangential rotation to the other groups measurements in order to calculate what coordinates the other group is located at.
 * Refer to the "Online Recourse" for the formulas needed to solve!


 * PART IV: **Assessment
