Instructional Ideas

• Use as an introduction to an experiment that examines Hooke's Law
• Flip your classroom by assigning the video as homework

Classroom Considerations

• Assumes an understanding of gravitational potential energy
• The 19th installment in a series of 49 video lessons

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• The video is short, but it is packed with content and descriptions, making it very efficient
• Examples are relevant to young scholars, and the video presents them in a clear manner

Cons

• Does not show examples of how to use Hooke's Law to calculate force or extension
