This is the fourth lesson in a unit of work on forces which could be adapted for use at KS3 or GCSE. The lesson is a practical lesson to test Hooke’s law. There is also some work on elastic deformation which may be too high for KS3 but could be easily removed.
During this lesson pupils will:
- Discuss the uses of springs.
- Get some basic contextual information about Robert Hooke
- Identify the IV and DV of the practical and write a hypothesis to test.
- Use the method to identify hazards and write rules to minimize them.
- Conduct the experiment to test Hooke’s law.
- Calculate spring extension and graph results. Compare results with expected results for Hooke’s law.
- Complete evaluation questions
- Learn about Hooke’s law.
- Learn about elastic deformation.
- Complete consolidation task.
