This versatile kit allows many experiments using differentarrangements of its parts. This kit includes different coiled springs for experiments in spring testing. These include extension springs, compression springs, parallel springs andsprings that can connect in series. Students, teachers or lecturers fit the parts of thekit to the Work Panel to study or demonstrate an engineering science topic. They also test springs in parallel and series to see how this affects theoverall spring rate. Students test the springs to prove Hookes Law and find their spring rate, comparing it with given manufacturers values. The kit helps students to understand the link betweenspring rate, spring extension and the design and construction of springs. It introduces students to key engineering terms such as:
Spring pretension
Spring rate
Hookes Law.
