| Title | Spring Oscillators Activity |
| Description | This activity uses a PHET simulation to explore the behavior of oscillating springs. You will experiment with different combinations of springs, masses and other parameters. You can specify the properties of the springs (spring constant, length) by means of sliders. In the “energy” and “lab” modes damping can be added. You can even change gravity, moving the experiment to other planets! The format of this worksheet is that you write your responses on the sheet using a different font color, and incorporate any sketches, tables etc. into the file. |
