Directions for Hooke’s Law Line Graphs
1. Set up graph axis, scales and labels as shown.
a. X axis label is Newtons of Force. (N)
b. Y axis label is Meters of Stretch. (m)
3. Plot the dark spring and the shiny spring data.
4. Use dots (.) to plot the down stretch and connect with a Best-Fit
Line.
5. Next, use X’s to plot the return stretch but do not connect it with
a line.
6. For each spring, use color to mark the dots, x’s, and line. Your
graph should have two colors.
7. Your key should show what the colors, dots, and X’s represent.
8. Using the same set up and directions, graph your rubber band
data on a separate graph.
