ENGAGE, EMPOWER &

ENHANCE
1. Engage
-Involve the students in the
activity (set induction)
2. Empower
-Give the students a sense of confidence or
self- esteem in term of education (construct
scientific ideas or concept)
3. Enhance
-Increase the degree of details for the
concept (guide students in reflecting their
own ideas related to the daily life)

Engage
Extension of String
Questions:
1.How do we work out the extension of a spring?
2.Where do we mark the elastic limit on a graph?
3. If we stretch a spring beyond its elastic limit,
then remove the force, will the spring go back to
its original length?

Empower
Objective:
1.To investigate how a spring behaves if it is
stretched under the influence of an external
force.
2.To verify that this behaviour is accurately
described by Hookes Law.
3.To graph the extension of the spring with
increasing mass by using position sensor.
Apparatus:
1.Retort clamps & stand
4.Masses/ load
2. Ruler
5.Interface box
3.Spring
6.Position sensor

Figure 1
Procedure:
1.The apparatus is set up as shown in Figure 1.
2.Connect the sensor to socket 1 on the interface.
3.Set up the position sensor, spring and masses as shown. You
may need to do a trial run to arrange the position sensor so
that the position sensor is near the top of its range.
4.Enter a mass value at the keyboard. The software also needs
to know that you will be entering masses by saying, between
0g and 50g via the keyboard.
5.With no mass on the spring, type 0 for the mass. Add a mass
to the spring. Type in 10 for the new mass. Continue adding

Graph of force against extension

Discussion:
1.How is an increasing load on the
spring shown on your graph?
2.How does the extension of the spring
change with mass?
3.What happen if the load is added
more than 3.0 N ?
4.Does this experiment applied
Hookes Law?

Enhance
1. Trampoline
-elastic disc that is connected
to several springs.
-Hookes law states that the
springs will work to return to equilibrium

2. Pens
-contains a spring which create tension
with the ballpoint of the pen in order
to stay out.
-Hookes law as it shows how the pen
functions through the elasticity of the spring.
