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
2. Ruler
5.Interface
3.Spring
6.Position sensor
Procedure:
1.The apparatus is set up as shown in Figure 1.
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.

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.
