Although this would not be considered a standard lab, it does help students with projects and other labs that involve the combinations of springs or rubber bands. Even if the activity is not used elsewhere, it allows students one more chance to practice using Hooke’s Law and reinforces the idea of spring constants. It is also very useful in projects such as egg drops, robots, slingshot launchers, and catapults.
