Physics experiment

A student makes a pendulum using a length of string with a ball of adhesive putty which acts as a ball. The mass of this bob is M. A similar second pendulum is constructed with the same length of string but with a bob of a smaller mass. The mass of this bob is m.
The arrangement of the pendulums is shown below.
The bob of mass M is pullers back to a vertical height of H from its rest position. It is released and collides with the bob of mass m. The two bobs then stick together and reach a maximum vertical height h from the rest position. The height h is given by the equation h = (M/M + m)^2 H.
Describe how to perform an experiment to test the validity of this equation and how the data can be analysed.

I don’t know what to write for this ?
