| Title | Hooke's Law, Spring Constant, and Energy HONORS |
| Description | Lab builds from qualitative observations of spring motion, energies of a moving spring, and altering of a spring constant to a quantitative application of Hooke's Law. Students have a choice of using Hooke's Law directly or graphing and finding a spring constant via slope. Students then use the spring constant to determine unknown masses and verify their work using the virtual lab. Written for an introductory activity at the honors level or for a later unit activity at a regular level. |
