Concord Consortium: Spring and Mass Model
An interactive tool where students can explore how a spring behaves, and how changing the elasticity, mass, push/pull force, and friction affect its motion or period. As the spring moves, its motion is shown on a distance-time graph.

Ck 12: Mass on a Spring
[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students solve problems dealing with simple harmonic motion using a mass on a string.

Institute of Physics: Practical Physics: Investigate Mass on Spring Oscillators
This experiment allows the period, displacement, velocity, and acceleration of a mass suspended on a spring to be investigated by data logging the output from a motion sensor. It is an example of simple harmonic motion.

Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Spring Constant From Oscillation
Students must calculate the spring constant of a spring based on the oscillation graph that is created by an oscillating mass.

My Physics Lab: Double Spring
Experiment with two springs that are connected to a wall to see what happens to the oscillation when you change the masses, spring stiffnesses, spring lengths or damping. Students can also change the starting position. Site includes...
