Spring Balance - Push Pull - 250g - 2.5 Newtons

This compact push-pull spring balance is designed for measuring both force and mass in a range of classroom experiments. With a capacity of 250g (2.5 Newtons), it features a dual-calibrated scale that allows students to easily switch between grams and newtons depending on the activity. Its transparent body offers a clear view of the internal mechanism, while durable construction ensures it can stand up to repeated student use. Ideal for junior science and physics investigations.

Educational Benefits:

• Demonstrates push and pull forces in a measurable, interactive way
• Reinforces understanding of the relationship between mass and force
• Dual scale supports competency in metric units (g/N)
• Strengthens observation and interpretation skills
• Provides a hands-on introduction to Newton's laws

Classroom Ideas:

• Measure the force needed to move classroom objects across different surfaces
• Use in friction or inertia experiments with toy vehicles or ramps
• Weigh classroom items and convert between grams and newtons
• Pair with spring investigations to analyse Hooke's Law
• Integrate into engineering design tasks involving load and balance
