SCIENTIFIC METHOD
If you have ever been shot with a rubber band then you know it has energy in it, enough energy to smack you in the arm and cause a sting! But just how much energy does a rubber band have? In this experiment you will be investigating how the stretching of a rubber band affects the amount of energy that springs out of it.
