Engineering Science Full Set
This package includes a complete set of TecQuipment’s Engineering Science kits (ES2-19) and three Work Panels (ES1) within a mobile trolley.
Spring Tester Kit
Item Number:
ES19 - Experiment
This kit includes different coiled springs for experiments in spring testing. These include extension springs, compression springs, parallel springs, and springs that can connect in series.
Students test the springs to prove Hooke’s Law and find their spring rate, comparing it with given manufacturer’s values. They also test springs in parallel and series to see how this affects the overall spring rate.
The kit helps students to understand the link between spring rate, spring extension, and the design and construction of springs. It introduces students to key engineering terms such as:
- Spring rate
- Hooke’s Law
- Spring pretension
This versatile kit is part of a series that allows many experiments using different arrangements of their parts. Students, teachers or lecturers fit the parts of the kit to the Work Panel (ES1) (supplied separately) to study or show an engineering science topic.
TecQuipment supply a CD-ROM with the Work Panel (ES1). It includes all the worksheets, guidance notes, and lecturer notes (with answers) needed for typical experiments with each kit. The selection of parts in the kits and the choice of fixing points on the work panel means that teachers or lecturers may extend the experiments to an even greater range.
Learning Outcomes
- Hooke’s Law and compression spring tests
- Hooke’s Law and extension spring tests
- Parallel and series spring tests
