Simple Harmonic Motion Demonstration This demonstration includes a picture, description, suggestion of use, equipment needed, and the approximate setup time.   Examples of Simple Harmonic Motion Lab Experiment Conservation of Energy in a Spring The lab has objectives, materials, background theory, analysis, and questions.   Conservation of Energy in a Spring Lecture Notes and Tutorials Simple Harmonic Motion These notes from PhysicsLAB by Catherine H. Colwell contain detailed explanations of background material, annotated diagrams and illustrations, and solved examples.   Simple Harmonic Motion Oscillations These notes from Frank Wolfs at the University of Rochester contain calculus-level, detailed explanations of background material, annotated diagrams and illustrations, and solved examples.   Oscillations Physics Simulation Library Each simulation includes an audio introduction and general directions. These simulations are very well designed, and each experiment gives the opportunity to change the parameters, collect data, and interpret various graphs.   Simple Harmonic Motion Simple Harmonic Motion   Simple Harmonic Motion II. Mass on a Spring Demonstration Each of the demonstrations includes a picture, description, suggestion of use, equipment needed, and the approximate setup time.   Hooke's Law Lab Experiment Hooked on Springs This lab develops a relationship between force and displacement of a spring. The lab is given with objectives, materials, background theory, analysis, and questions.   Hooked on Springs Lecture Notes and Tutorial Springs These notes from PhysicsLAB by Catherine H. Colwell contain detailed explanations of background material, annotated diagrams and illustrations, and solved examples.   Springs Simulation Conservation of Energy in a Spring-Mass System Each simulation from the Physics Simulation Library includes an audio introduction and general directions. These simulations are very well designed, and each experiment gives the opportunity to change the parameters, collect data, and interpret various graphs.   Conservation of Energy in a Spring-Mass System See also...
