• demonstrates an elastic material regaining its shape after deformation;
• demonstrates an elastic material failing to regain its shape after the elastic material is exceeded;
• guides students through planning an investigation of Hooke’s Law;
• demonstrates that, for elastic materials within their elastic limit a graph of extension against force is a straight line and confirms Hooke’s Law.
