Recipe for a Living World
In this lesson, students will observe the effects of light intensity and wavelength on the rate of photosynthesis in a plant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/recipe-for-a-living-world
Vernier - Heat of Fusion
In this activity, students will use a calorimeter to measure the amount of heat needed to melt ice and determine the heat of fusion for ice. EasyData™ is needed for this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--heat-of-fusion
Vernier - Graphing Your Motion
In this activity, students use a Vernier Motion Detector to measure distance and velocity. Students prepare graphs of motion and analyze them. They compare and match graphs of distance versus time and velocity versus time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--graphing-your-motion
Pyramid Height Exploration
This activity center is used to illustrate the difference between the slant height and the actual perpendicular height (of the given square pyramid) by the use of the distance formula.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pyramid-height-exploration
Areas In Intervals
Students estimate and find a given area under a normal curve.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/areas-in-intervals_1
Sail Problem (Parallel Lines & Segment Relationships)
In this activity, students will explore the proportional relationships involved in multiple parallel lines being cut by transversals. These relationships are approached through exploration of a sail design problem, where students are to find the lengths of pieces of fabric along the edge of a s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sail-problem-parallel-lines--segment-relationships
In It to Win It!
Students will calculate the experimental probability of winning a basketball game by shooting two free-throws using a random integer simulation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/in-it-to-win-it
Parallel and Perpendicular Slopes
This activity is for use as a formative assessment tool after the introduction and overview of parallel and perpendicular slopes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-and-perpendicular-slopes
Exploring Slope: Slope on the Slopes
Students take a field trip to a local ski area(or simply a nearby hill) and calculate the slope of a hill at several positions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-slope-slope-on-the-slopes
Tri This!
Students investigate linear equations that form a triangle and determine which vertex is a solution to a system of equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tri-this
Arrow- An Activiaty for Plotting Points
Students are given points to plot in activity center. The points will form an arrow. The teacher can then direct students to change the coordinates to translate the picture. Students practice plotting points, integer operations, and see transformations in one activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/arrow-an-activiaty-for-plotting-points
Investigating the Pythagorean Theorem
Use your TI-84 Silver Plus calculator and the Carbri Jr file 'PYTHAG' to have students investigate what happens to the results of the Pythagorean Theorem for acute, right, and obtuse triangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-the-pythagorean-theorem
