How can you figure out how a trapeze artist will swing in different situations, without practicing on a real trapeze?

We suggest students work in pairs.
The trapeze model will need to hang from the side of a desk or table. We suggest that students move their chairs and sit or kneel on the floor to be able to more closely observe the movement of the model.
Cut the string so that each piece is about 2 feet (~61 cm) long. Each pair of students will need two pieces of string.
We suggest building one of the trapeze models prior to student testing to ensure that your materials work together. If the string is too thick, the suggested binder clip size won’t be able to hold these in place. You may need to adjust the type of string you use or you can try using larger binder clips.
