While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• The Museu de les Ciències Principe Felipe is in Valencia, Spain.
• It is home to a Foucault pendulum.
• Vasile Alecsandri National College is in Galați, Romania.
• It is home to a Foucault pendulum.
• A Foucault pendulum dangles from a fixed point that ensures the swing path of the pendulum doesn’t change.
• To an observer, the swing path of a Foucault pendulum appears to change over time because Earth rotates beneath it.
