A simple Foucault pendulum of my own design was installed in a high school classroom, and a science experiment course was held for junior and senior high school students to measure the rotation time of the earth. There was a small beam above the science room at the high school, to which the Foucault pendulum was attached with a clamp. Measurements with a certain degree of time accuracy could be carried out in the high school classroom. We report on the results of the implementation of this course.
