LEGO Technic GCSE Physics - Hooke's Law (F = kx)
Explore Hooke’s Law with a hands-on practical built using LEGO® Technic.
Difficulty: ★★☆
Approx build time: 30 minutes
Lesson Length: 90 – 120 minutes
Topics: Hooke’s Law, GCSE physics, springs, elastic materials, experimental testing
Hooke's Law (F = kx)
Students add known loads, measure spring extension and investigate the relationship between force and displacement.
The activity develops skills in accurate measurement, data collection, graph plotting and interpreting experimental results.
Students can calculate the spring constant and identify the limit of proportionality.
Suitable for GCSE Physics lessons, STEM clubs, home education and practical science sessions.
