Objects that are easier to stretch have more elastic energy than objects that are harder to stretch (AAAS Project 2061, n.d.).

Items that test for misconception EGM063 in this project (ASPECt) and key idea ()
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
EG040004	For two rubber bands stretched the same amount, the rubber band that was harder to stretch has more elastic energy.	30%
RG132002	When comparing three springs, the spring that is harder to stretch will have more elastic potential energy than the other springs if they are all stretched the same amount.	25%
RG197001	The stronger the intermolecular forces, the greater the amount of elastic potential energy there is for a given length stretched.	23%
