Can You Hear the Ball Bounce?
Most students instinctively know already that for each consecutive bounce, a ball will reach slightly less height than in the bounce before. They may have even explored the mathematical model that describes how the height decreases for a series of bounces, like the one shown in Figure 1. In p...https://education.ti.com/en/bulletinboard/ball-bounce-activity

Predicting White Blood Counts
..., is to break the data into sections and fit different periods of time with different equations. Using their models, they predict when the patient will be released from the hospital, and when the blood counts will rise to certain important levels. This is actual data, used with permission, of wh...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/predicting-white-blood-counts
Phosphate Analysis
One method of measuring the phosphate concentration is by using a Colorimeter. This instrument measures the amount of light transmitted through a sample at a given wavelength. The amount of light absorbed is mathematically related to the concentration of the solution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/phosphate-analysis
Vernier - Enzyme Action: Testing Catalase Activity
Students will use an O2 Gas Sensor to measure the amount of O2 produced when H2O2 is broken down by the enzyme catalase at different concentrations, pH values, and temperatures. They will also measure the enzyme's initial reaction rates.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--enzyme-action-testing-catalase-activity
The Eye
This StudyCards(tm) stack enables students to review the vocabulary about and physiology of the eye.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-eye
Circulation
This StudyCards(tm) stack enables students to review the vocabulary and physiology of the circulatory system.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circulation
Diffusion and Equilibrium
