Discrimination of Parabolas
Students manipulate progressively more flexible parabolas whilst a ‘special number’ is displayed on the screen. The problem for students to solve is ‘what is so special about this number’. Students continually review their conjectures as the parabola becomes more and more flexible.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discrimination-of-parabolas
Bending Light
...ey use a numerical approach to establish a relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction. Then, students explore refraction when the light ray travels from the denser medium to the less dense medium. Students check to see if their relationship still holds and determine t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bending-light
Stream Erosion
In this lesson, students will manipulate the slope of the surface over which the water is flowing to show varying rates of erosion and deposition.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stream-erosion
Air Resistance
Students collect data on the rate at which coffee filters fall.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/air-resistance
Forces on Point Charges

Entropy
In this activity, students will investigate entropy from the point of view of microstates, macrostates, and probability. The goal of the activity is to help students better understand the relationship between probability and entropy. Students will learn that, in the case of the second law of ther...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/entropy
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
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 Respiration
In this activity, students will use a carbon dioxide gas sensor to measure the rate at which non-germinating and germinating peas undergo cellular respiration. Students also investigate the influence of temperature on the rate of cellular respiration.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cellular-respiration

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
Vernier - Boyle's law
The primary objective of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the pressure and volume of a confined gas. The gas we use will be air, and it will be confined in a syringe connected to a Pressure Sensor (see Figure 1). When the volume of the syringe is changed by moving the pist...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--boyles-law
Properties of Solutions: Electrolytes and Nonelectrolytes
In this lesson, students will use a conductivity probe to measure conductivity and determine which molecules are responsible for conductivity of solutions. Alternative procedure for the Vernier Go Direct® sensors with CXII is included in the downloads.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-solutions--electrolytes-and-nonelectrolytes
