Spring Balance Green 500g

The Spring Balance Green 500 g is an affordable yet precise tool designed for measuring weight and exploring the concept of force. This spring balance provides a wide variety of weight experiences and is fully encased in a durable plastic tube for safety and longevity. With a maximum capacity of 500g, it is perfect for investigating how mass and force interact. In addition to weight measurements in grams, the spring balance also displays force readings in newtons, making it ideal for force investigations. Students can observe the extension of the spring as they apply different weights, helping them visualise and better understand the relationship between mass and force. The Spring Balance Green 500 g is a must-have tool for science classrooms, offering an interactive and hands-on approach to learning about fundamental physics concepts such as gravity and force.

Educational Benefits:

• Supports the exploration of the relationship between mass, weight, and force using an easily accessible spring scale.
• Enhances understanding of gravitational force by displaying weight in both grams and newtons.
• Promotes hands-on learning and observation, helping students visualise how weight affects the extension of the spring.
• Encourages scientific inquiry, critical thinking, and experimentation with real-world applications of physics concepts.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use to demonstrate how varying weights affect the spring's extension and how force is represented in newtons.
• Incorporate into lessons focused on gravitational force and the comparison of objects with different masses.
• Have students test the relationship between mass and force by using the spring balance to measure different objects.
• Use in physics experiments to demonstrate how weight changes with force and discuss the practical applications in real-world contexts.
