Springs

In Science, we have been learning about springs. Children have learnt that some springs can be compressed, and some springs can be extended.

When springs are being compressed or extended, they exert a push or pull force.

There are so many everyday objects that have a spring inside. We managed to find lots of different objects. Maybe you can find some objects at home that have a spring inside.
