Outbreak!
In this activity, students simulate the spread of a virus. They produce a graph representing the spread and analyze the rates of change over time. Students compare how viral and bacterial infections spread in a population.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/outbreak
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
Vernier - Photosynthesis
Students will use a Colorimeter to compare the rates of photosynthesis for plants in different light conditions. They investigate the role of chloroplasts and light on photosynthesis.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--photosynthesis
Half-Life Lab
This activity explains how students use a CBL2 and TI-83 or TI-84 calculator to collect and calculate the half-life of a barium isotope. Students will use an isogenerator to milk out a meta stable isotope of Barium with a short half-life. Using a radiation monitor linked to a CBL2, students run...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/halflife-lab
Graphing Nature
Students compare blade size of leaves from one species and between closely related species. Evolution through natural selection accounts for the diversity of species developed through gradual processes over many generations. Biological adaptations include changes in structures, behaviors or phys...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-nature
Science TODAY™ - Corn Crop is a Bin-Buster
Using the USA TODAY Snapshot® " data from the USDA Statistics Service website, and information from a USA TODAY article, students will be asked to calculate percent change, do summations of data, observe trends, and offer explanations as to the reasons for those trends in agricultural p...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/science-today--corn-crop-is-a-binbuster
Groucho's Sign Shop
Students' use force sensors to investigate forces and learn about force as a vector. Similar concept to the common "spring scale" force vector lab, but with a real-world twist.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/grouchos-sign-shop
Subnivean Comfort
Students measure and compare air temperatures inside and outside a snow shelter. If students choose to sleep in the shelter overnight they use the temperature measurements to confirm what they discover experientially- that snow is a great insulator!https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/subnivean-comfort
Power Engineering
Shows how to handle phasor algebra, complex power, power factor corrections, and unbalanced three-phase calculations using the TI-89.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/power-engineering
Two Hot, Two Cold
In this activity, students collect both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature data for several water samples of varying temperatures. They use the data to find a conversion equation that will calculate the Fahrenheit temperature for any given Celsius temperature.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/two-hot-two-cold
Number Cube Sums
Students explore experimental probability and patterns in fractions, decimals, and percents by rolling two number cubes and recording and analyzing the sums that come up.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-cube-sums
