Hit the Target
In this lesson, students will explore the range of a marble that rolls down a ramp and off a table. The goal is for students to develop a mathematical model that will allow them to hit a target placed on the floor on the first try.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hit-the-target
Induced Magnetic Fields
In this activity, students will use a strong permanent magnet to induce a magnetic field in a metal object. They will measure the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field around the permanent magnet and around the induced magnet. They will also compare how magnetic field strength changes wit...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/induced-magnetic-fields
Paper Chromatography
This activity introduces the process of paper chromatography and why scientists use it in crime scene investigations. A crime has been committed.

Vernier - Acids and Bases
In this lesson, students will explore how living organisms can maintain a stable internal pH - even in the event of environmental changes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--acids-and-bases
Manipulating Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis may very well be the most important biochemical process in the living world. OK, it IS the most important biochemical process in the living world! In this activity, see how manipulating the amount of light and carbon dioxide can change the photosynthetic production of a plant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/manipulating-photosynthesis
How dense are we
In this activity students use scientific notation to compare populations, state land areas and the corresponding population density.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-dense-are-we
Enzyme Chemical Reactions
In this lesson, students will use an enzyme catalase to speed up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/enzyme-chemical-reactions
Water Quality Testing
This water quality project has been designed around a monthly sampling routine for the extent of the project scope. One of the sampling days involved three different classes, each class sampling a different station. This project measured several biotic / abiotic factors to determine the interre...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/water-quality-testing
Tool - Unit Conversion
In this lesson, students are introducted to the basics of how to effectively use this tool. This tool can be used alone, or you can copy/paste it into another TNS document.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tool--unit-conversion
Pendulum Swing – Part 1
Students use a motion detector (CBR) and pendulum (fishing float) to collect data for the motion of a pendulum. The quality of the data never ceases to amaze students and teachers. Students align practical knowledge, logic and familiarity with the various parameters to transform a basic trigono...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pendulum-swing--part-1
Like Moths Around a Flame
In this lesson, students examine data about moths and draw conclusions of how the environment impacts their populations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/like-moths-around-a-flame

Limaçons: A Polar Investigation
This activity allows students to investigate the properties of limaçons in the polar forms of both r =a +b*sin(θ) and r =a+b*cos(θ). Using a slider, values of a and b change as students investigate looped or flattened limaçons, as well as, cardioids. Students examine symmetry and the effect...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/limaçons-a-polar-investigation
