Vernier - Air Resistance
Students use the Vernier Motion Detector to measure the effect of air resistance on falling objects. They determine how air resistance and mass affect the terminal velocity of a falling object and then choose a force model that fits the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--air-resistance_1

In this activity, students will use a Motion Detector to measure distance and velocity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--falling-objects
Vernier - Chill Out: How Hot Objects Cool
Students use a temperature probe to collect data as the warmed probe cools. Students investigate Newton's law of cooling and model cooling data with an exponential function. They fit the data to a mathematical model after analysis.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--chill-out-how-hot-objects-cool
Vernier - Picket Fence Free Fall
In this activity, students will measure the acceleration of a freely falling body (g) to better than 0.5% precision with the help of a Picket Fence and a Photogate.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--picket-fence-free-fall

Stacking Bricks
This activity presents a real-world situation--stacking bricks in a pile--that can be modeled by a polynomial function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stacking-bricks_1
Stacking Bricks - 84
This activity presents a real-world situation--stacking bricks in a pile--that can be modeled by a polynomial function. Students create a small table to show how the number of bricks relates to the number of rows, and calculate the first, second, and third differences of the data. Next they use t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stacking-bricks

Making Limits Exist
In this activity, students will graph piecewise functions and evaluate numerically and graphically the left hand limit and the right hand limit of the function as x approaches a given number, c.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-limits-exist
Old McDonald's Pigpen

Secant Lines
In this activity, students will observe the slopes of the secant and tangent line as a point on the function approaches the point of tangency.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/secant-lines
Limits of Indeterminant Forms
In this activity, students will graph f(x)=sin(x)/x in order to visually determine the limit as x approaches zero. They will confirm the answer numerically by tracing left and right limit points on a graph and looking at values in a table.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/limits-of-indeterminant-forms
Profit Equations and Calculus
