Sci-Supply Hooke’s Law Apparatus – Spring Force and Elasticity Physics Lab Equipment

Explore Hooke’s Law with Precision

Help students visualize and quantify the relationship between force and spring extension with the Sci-Supply Hooke’s Law Apparatus. This classic physics lab tool makes the principle behind Hooke’s Law tangible: the farther a spring is stretched, the greater the restoring force trying to pull it back. Perfect for classroom demonstrations, lab activities, and introductory physics units on mechanics and materials.

How It Works

• A sturdy stand and clamp hold a spring vertically in place

• Masses hang from the spring to apply a downward force

• As weight increases, the spring stretches proportionally

• Students measure extension vs. force to observe Hooke’s Law

• Clear scale markings help collect accurate data

This apparatus turns abstract formulas into real, measurable results. Students connect theory to observation as they plot force vs. extension to see a straight-line relationship.

Designed for Classroom Success

Whether you’re teaching middle school physical science or high school physics, this Hooke’s Law apparatus delivers consistent, reliable demonstrations and experiments:

• Ideal for labs involving elasticity, springs, and mechanical properties

• Rugged construction stands up to frequent use

• Easy setup and operation — no power needed

• Works for individual, small group, or whole-class demonstrations

Use this tool to challenge misconceptions, reinforce lab skills, and deepen understanding of force, motion, and material behavior.

Teacher Tip: Have students collect extension data for a range of masses and plot force vs. extension to verify Hooke’s Law. Discuss where the relationship breaks down with larger forces (elastic limit).
