==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
'''Elastic deformation''' is when an [[object]] changes shape due to [[Equilibrium Forces|equilibrium forces]] but returns to its original shape when those [[Equilibrium Forces|equilibrium forces]] are removed.

===About Elastic Deformation===
: In '''elastic deformation''' the [[extension]] of an [[object]] is increases as the [[force]] increases.
: [[Elastic]] [[materials]] can be '''deformed''' (stretched) so far that they break, or start to '''deform''' [[Plastic Deformation|plastically]].
Some common [[elastic]] [[material]]s are:
*[[Rubber]]
*[[Coil Spring|Springs]]

==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Elastic deformation''' is when an [[object]] changes shape due to [[Equilibrium Forces|equilibrium forces]] but returns to its original shape when those [[Equilibrium Forces|equilibrium forces]] are removed.

===About Elastic Deformation===
: In '''elastic deformation''' the [[extension]] of an [[object]] is [[Directly Proportional|directly proportional]] to the [[Equilibrium Forces|equilibrium forces]] applied.
: [[Elastic]] [[materials]] can be '''deformed''' so far that they reach their [[Elastic Limit|elastic limit]] and begin to '''deform''' [[Plastic Deformation|plastically]].
