Skills of Science - Creating and Analyzing Linear Graphs
In this lesson, students use TI-Nspire technology to understand the fundamentals of good graphing in the science classroom and laboratory.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/skills-of-science--creating-and-analyzing-linear-graphs
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
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
Students generate random polynomials and observe the distribution of the zeros on the complex plane. From the distributions students are able to draw conclusions about the zeros, and therefore roots, of a polynomial in order to gain a better visual understanding of the Fundamental Theorem of Alge...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fundamental-theorem-of-algebra
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
Gradient of a function
This activity introduces the notion of the gradient of a curve. Initial exploration involves a dynamic tangent where students can use prior knowledge of the gradient of a straight line to determine if the slope is negative, zero or positive. The second stage of the activity goes one step further ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/gradient-of-a-function
Fill the Vase
Students interpret graphs of empirical data with respect to rate of change of the height of water in vases of different shapes that are being filled at a constant rate. Students are provided with a range of graphs and vases. For each graph they must reshape the vase in order to match the volume –...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fill-the-vase
Sweating Alcohol
In this lesson, students will measure and graph the rate at which room-temperature water and alcohol cool as they evaporate. Then, they will draw a conclusion about the rates at which polar and nonpolar liquids evaporate.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sweating-alcohol
Cellular Division Assessment
This TI-Nspire™ question set (.tns) has assessment questions relating to Biology: Genetics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cellular-division-assessment
Vectors Introduction
An introduction to vectors visually, conceptually and numerically. Students manipulate vectors to show addition (head to tail) and the parallelogram rule. Students use a column matrix to represent a vector and explore scalar multiples and the magnitude of a vector.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vectors-introduction
Intermolecular Forces
In this lesson, students will first observe the changing charge cloud that surrounds a single polar molecule (HCl) and a single non-polar molecule (Cl2).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/intermolecular-forces
Keep It Bottled Up: Linear Rates of Pressure Increase
In this activity, you will see how temperature affects the rate at which an effervescent antacid tablet reacts with water and releases a gas. The rate at which the reaction occurs is measured by the rate of gas production.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/keep-it-bottled-up-linear-rates-of-pressure-increase
Cipher Solvers
In this code breaking activity, students are challenged to identify patterns, unravel clues, and triangulate a point on a treasure map.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cipher-solvers
Friction and Inclined Planes
Students explore the relationship between mass, coefficient of friction, and motion down an inclined plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/friction-and-inclined-planes
