 * Choice 1 - Using Hooke’s Law to design a Letter Scale** Have you ever wanted to send a letter, but were unsure of how many stamps to put on the envelope? In this activity, you will design and build a scale using simple items found around the house – including a rubber band. Before you build the scale, you must first find the elastic constant of your rubber band. Then you will design a scale that will measure between 0-4 ounces. Unfortunately, the physics room only has gram measurements, so you will have to convert ounces into grams. US Postal Service [] **Letters **
