Vectors Introduction
An introduction to vectors visually, conceptually and numerically. Students manipulate vectors to show addition (head to tail) and the parallelogram rule. Students use a column matrix to represent a vector and explore scalar multiples and the magnitude of a vector.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vectors-introduction
Friction: Your Friend or Your Enemy?
In this lesson, students explore static and kinetic friction by dragging shoes with different types of soles across a table at a constant pace. Alternative procedure for the Vernier Go Direct® sensors with TI-Nspire CX II is included in the downloads.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/friction-your-friend-or-your-enemy
