The Spring Balance Blue 250 g is a compact and economical tool designed for exploring weight and force. Fully encased in a durable plastic tube, this spring balance provides an accurate way for students to measure small weights and investigate fundamental physics concepts. With a maximum capacity of 250g, it is perfect for students to explore how the force of gravity affects objects of lighter mass. In addition to displaying weight in grams, this spring balance also shows readings in newtons, making it a versatile tool for investigations into force. Ideal for science classrooms, the Spring Balance Blue 250 g offers an interactive learning experience, allowing students to visually observe the extension of the spring and understand the relationship between weight, force, and gravity. This affordable and reliable spring balance is an essential resource for hands-on learning and experiments in physics.

Educational Benefits:

Introduces students to the concept of weight and force through direct measurement using a spring scale.

Supports investigations into gravity and the relationship between mass and force, with readings in both grams and newtons.

Encourages hands-on learning, helping students to visually connect the extension of the spring to the weight of an object.

Promotes critical thinking and scientific inquiry as students conduct experiments and analyse results.

Classroom Ideas:

Use to demonstrate the relationship between weight and force, focusing on smaller masses and the extension of the spring.

Incorporate into lessons about gravitational force, comparing the weight of various objects using the spring balance.

Have students predict the extension of the spring based on an object's mass and test their predictions using the spring balance.

Utilise as part of a physics experiment to measure the force exerted by different objects and discuss the results in terms of newtons.
