Chords and Circles
Students will begin this activity by exploring how the chord in a circle is related to its perpendicular bisector. Investigation will include measuring lengths and distances from the center of the circle. These measurements will then be transferred to a graph to see the locus of the intersection ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chords-and-circles
Circle Geometry: Central Angles and Inscribed Angles
The activity is designed to teach students the rules attributed to central angles and their intercepted arc and incsribed angles and their intercepted arc.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circle-geometry-central-angles-and-inscribed-angles
Reflections and Rotations
Students will reflect figures over the x- and y-axes. By studying what happens to the coordinates of the pre-image and image points, they will write rules for reflecting points over the axes. Students will then rotate figures about the origin, in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Ag...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reflections-and-rotations
Nuclear Binding Energy
Students explore the energy that results from the strong force in nuclei. The activity begins with the unexpected result that the mass of a nucleus is less than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In Part 2 of the activity, students analyze a graph to determine the r...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nuclear-binding-energy
Light and Waves
Students explore the interference patterns of waves formed by two point sources. Students are able to collect data and draw conclusions about the nodal lines formed by the interference.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/light-and-waves
Light Intensity
Students investigate the relationship between light intensity and distance with a flashlight. They use the collected data to identify a mathematical model for the relationship. They then compare this model with the inverse-square law for an ideal point source.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/light-intensity
Mechanical Advantage
In this lesson, students will explore the relationship between resistance force and effort force for the inclined plane and the lever.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mechanical-advantage
Mechanical Advantage of Pulleys
Students explore a single-fixed-pulley system by varying the load and measure the force necessary to lift the load.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mechanical-advantage-of-pulleys
Work and Power
Students explore the relationship between power, work, and time. They also explore the relationship between power, force, and speed. Based on these explorations, students derive the equation P = Fv and solve problems dealing with power in various mechanical problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/work-and-power
Radioactive Dating Game (HS)
In this lesson, students will simulate radioactive dating at an archeological site.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/radioactive-dating-game-hs
Sound Intensity
Students investigate the relationship between sound intensity and distance for a commercial loudspeaker. They use collected data to identify a mathematical model for the relationship. They then compare this model with the inverse square law for an ideal point source.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sound-intensity
Spring Constant
Students explore the relationship between displacement and restoring force for an elastic spring.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/spring-constant
Motion and Forces 1 Assessment

Uniform Circular Motion
Students explore uniform circular motion and solve problems that deal with kinematics and dynamics of this motion.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/uniform-circular-motion
Up and Down: Vertical Oscillations
Students explore vertical oscillations produced by a mass attached to an elastic spring and collect data on the force of the spring as a function of time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/up-and-down-vertical-oscillations
Capacitors
Students explore the characteristics of capacitors. The activity begins with a look at the movement of charge in a parallel-plate capacitor and the effect of voltage on charge. Following the definition of capacitance, students explore how plate area, plate separation, and dielectrics affect capac...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/capacitors

A Little Light Work
Students will study graphs of light intensity at various distances from a light sensor. They will use power and linear regressions to determine the relationship between light intensity and distance from the light source. They will also develop their own models for the relationship.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/a-little-light-work
Forces on an Inclined Plane
In this lesson, students will collect data on the magnitude of the force acting on an object resting on an inclined plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forces-on-an-inclined-plane
Forces on Point Charges
Students explore interactions between charged point particles. They first explore graphical vector addition and then use vector addition rules to explore the net forces on charged particles. The preconstructed templates used in this activity include charged particles and forces of interactions be...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forces-on-point-charges
Focusing on Light
In this activity, students explore the reflection of light by parabolic and semicircular mirrors. They begin by exploring reflection using a series of flat mirrors that are attached to one another to create a flexible mirror that can simulate a curved mirror. Students then explore reflection by a...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/focusing-on-light
