They will also look at the improvement in the world records for men and women in the 100 Meter Freestyle race.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/science-today--how-the-olympic-swimsuit-gives-athletes-an-edge
Electron Vocabulary
This StudyCards(tm) stack enables students to review the vocabulary used in studying electron behavior.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electron-vocabulary
Exploring Motion Graphs
Students will create distance-time and velocity-time graphs with CBL2™ and motion detectors.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-motion-graphs
Which Way?
Students' use a motion detector to examine how different types of motion affect the shape of the Distance versus Time plot. They explore how changes in direction and other factors affect the shape of the plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/which-way
Vernier - The Magnetic Field in a Slinky
Students use a Magnetic Field Sensor to measure the magnetic field and the current in a solenoid. They explore factors that affect the magnetic field, study how the field varies in parts of the solenoid, and determine the permeability constant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--the-magnetic-field-in-a-slinky
Tiles in a Bag
Students explore probability and patterns in fractions, decimals, and percents by drawing tiles out of a bag.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tiles-in-a-bag
Ratios in Regular Polygons
Students use linear measurement and calculators to investigate the ratios between corresponding parts of regular polygons.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ratios-in-regular-polygons
What's My Ratio?
Students use linear measurement and calculators to investigate proportionality and determine the constant ratio between similar figures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-my-ratio
Toys on a slope
Participants analyze data from toys rolling down a slope. Velocity is determined using lists and graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/toys-on-a-slope
Vernier - Heart Rate and Body Position
In this activity, students will use a Heart Rate Monitor to measure their heart rate while sitting, lying down, and standing. They will analyze the data collected to determine the effect of body position on heart rate.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--heart-rate-and-body-position
Taxonomy
This StudyCards(tm) stack enables students to review the vocabulary used in studying taxonomy.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taxonomy
Addition check with calculators
Students will solve addition problems and use calculators to check answershttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/addition-check-with-calculators
Exploring Hurricane Strength
In the activity, we explore multiple regression equations among Saffir-Simpson Scale, Pressure, Wind Speed, and Storm Surge of hurricanes. We relate our models to Hurricane Katrina, Gustav, and Ike.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-hurricane-strength
It's the Place that Counts
Students learn to add using place-value material and a calculator. They make connections between base-ten numerals and the quantities they represent.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/its-the-place-that-counts
Angle Theorem
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to investigate the relationship between angle and ratio in a right triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angle-theorem
Proportional Flag
Students will use the concepts of similarity to create a scale drawing of the national flag, that is large enough to cover most of a football field.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/proportional-flag
Quilt Blocks
Students will see how fractions, decimals, and percents are interrelated, then explore and learn how to convert between them. Students will also practice estimating.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quilt-blocks
