Hitting Homeruns
It is a study of the way a hit baseball moves through the air in the sense of using a quadratic function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hitting-homeruns
The Park Problem
The goal of this activity is for students to see a real world application of a minimization problem. Students have to determine where to place a track inside a park to minimize the total distance of the track in Lazy Town.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-park-problem
Exploring the Cycloid Curve
The TI Nspire's animation feature is used to show how a point on a rotating circle creates the cycloid curve. Students then examine the parametric equation of the cycloid. Finally, students are tasked with going online to investigate the terms brachistochronous and tautochronous and their relat...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-cycloid-curve
Cybersecurity 1: All Clear
Activity 1 introduces students to “cleartext” messaging. Students will send messages between two micro:bit radios on one of 83 radio channels using plaintext characters, referred to as cleartext. The “student hacker” will attempt to eavesdrop on the conversation by listeni...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cybersecurity-1

Modeling Basketball and Golf shots with Quadratics
Students learn the quadratic equation in vertex form by modeling President Obama shooting hoops. Then attempt to hit a hole-in-one on 3 holes of golf by determining the equation of the flight of the ball. The activity concludes with a 10-question quiz.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-basketball-and-golf-shots-with-quadratics
Big Data Sets - Climate Change
Students can explore different sets of data associated with climate change with respect to variables such as temperature, precipitation, and natural disasters by state and by regions in the US.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-data-@-climate-change
Modeling: Exploring Medical Tests Results
In this activity, students investigate ideas that have appeared in many sources related to the recent pandemic. They will become familiar with terms such as false positives and false negatives, prevalence, sensitivity and specificity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling@-exploring-medical-tests-results
Gettin' Trig-y with Python
In this Python coding activity, students will write a program that generates a random sine, cosine or tangent ratio. It will ask the user to enter a different trigonometric ratio based on the given triangle information. It will evaluate the user’s input.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/gettin-trigy-with-python
Simulating Fairness
In this coding activity, students will create a simulation for the game “Evens or Odds”. The simulation will allow students to investigate the fairness of different variations of the game.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/simulating-fairness
Factor Darts
In this coding activity, students will create a dart game that generates four random quadratic expressions. For each question the player answers correctly, the player will get another shot at the dart board.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/factor-darts
Cybersecurity 3 - Hail, Caesar!
Building on the concepts learned in Activity 2, this activity introduces students to Caesar ciphers. Students will experiment with encoding messages by using a Caesar shift, which is used to switch up the order of letters in the alphabet to transform plaintext into a ciphertext.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cybersecurity-3
Cybersecurity 6- Brute Force
Building on the concepts learned in Activity 5, the student hacker will now attempt a brute force attack to decrypt the hashed password. The students will observe the key differences between this and the rainbow table method.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cybersecurity-6
Beer's Law Data Collection Lab
In this lesson, students will use a Colorimeter to discover the relationship between absorbance and concentration of a solution to ultimately determine an unknown solution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/beers-law-data-collection-lab
Photosynthesis in Plants
In this lesson, students will observe the effects of certain variables on the rate of photosynthesis in a plant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/photosynthesis-in-plants
Photosynthesis of Plants
In this lesson, students will develop a deeper understanding of the variables affecting the rate of photosynthesis in plants.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/photosynthesis-of-plants
Some Like It Hot
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to adjust the pH of a lake and draw conclusions about the relationship between pH and biodiversity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/some-like-it-hot
