A spring is a flexible device that stores energy when it is stretched, squeezed, or bent. It is often made from strong metal wire wound into a coil. When the force is removed, the spring tries to return to its original shape. This movement can serve purposes like keeping something steady, making a pen click, or making a toy bounce.
