How do tiggers work?

"Their bottoms are made out of springs"
6S were investigating the extension of springs in the lab today
 First set up your equipment
 Make sure the ruler is the correct way round
 Set the springs on the clamp
 Add masses one at a time
This increases the load on the spring 
 Measure the length carefully
Keep adding masses and measuring 
 Writing down the results each time
 Calculate the extension
then we will do two srpings in parallel and then series 
And finally plot it all on a graph
