A time line of the life of Galileo Galilei.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/galileo-galilei-time-line
Groucho's Sign Shop
Students' use force sensors to investigate forces and learn about force as a vector. Similar concept to the common "spring scale" force vector lab, but with a real-world twist.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/grouchos-sign-shop
Shape Up!
In this activity, students will use the motion detector to record motion, and observe how the direction of movement, speed of travel, and the rate of change of direction and speed affect the shape of a Distance-Time plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shape-up
Hooke's Law
Students study Hooke's Law. They understand that stretch on a spring is directly proportional to the force applied to the end of the string. Students observe a spring being stretched as candies are added to a cup attached to the spring. They learn to graph scatter plots, analyze linear function, ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hookes-law
Hooke's Law: The Rest of the Story
Students study Hooke's Law. They explore the linear behavior of a spring as it is pulled downward and understand that stretch on a spring is directly proportional to the force applied to the end of the string. Students create scatter plots, calculate slopes, and discuss positive and negative slopes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hookes-law-the-rest-of-the-story
Linearity with an investigation of Hooke's Law
Students will perform an activity which allows them to discover Hooke's Law for springs and determine the spring constant of a springhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linearity-with-an-investigation-of-hookes-law
I Am Your Density
Students will model data using a linear equation, interpret the slope and intercept values from a linear model, and identify a characteristic property of a substance.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/i-am-your-density
Coming to know F and C
Students will collect room temperatures with temperature probes and graphing calculators, and plot data to generalize rule that relates Fahrenheit and Celsius units.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/coming-to-know-f-and-c
