Stretching springsToday we are going to look at spring extension when adding
masses.
Make a prediction for this practical, can you explain why you predict this?
Key terms: Spring, extension, elasticity, proportionality
Stretching springsObjectives
Investigate the extension of springs with masses.
Outcomes
(5) Gather a full set of results.
(6) Draw a conclusion from those results.
(7) Analyse how the conclusion differs when changing factors
such as adding another spring.
Key terms: Spring, extension, elasticity, proportionality

Task
• Carry out the practical measuring the extension of a spring as the mass is
increased.
• Draw a graph of the results.
• Write a conclusion.
Extension: How do the results differ when you use
two springs attached together and two springs
side by side?
