Slippery Slope
In this activity, students will create Distance versus Time plots and calculate the slopes of the plots. They explore the mathematical concept of slopes and understand how slopes can be used to interpret how one physical quantity changes with respect to another.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slippery-slope
Under Pressure: The Inverse Relationship between Pressure and Volume
In this activity, students' will use a pressure sensor to investigate the relationship between pressure and volume for an enclosed air sample, and fit an inverse function model to the pressure versus volume data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/under-pressure-the-inverse-relationship-between-pressure-and-volume
Forensics Case 9 - Killer Cup of Coffee: Using colorimetry to determine concentration of a poison
In this activity, students will use colorimetry to determine the concentration of a colored species in a solution and use a linear relationship to model Beer's law. They use Beer's law to determine the concentration of iron(III)thiocyanate (FeSCN2+) in an unknown solution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-9--killer-cup-of-coffee-using-colorimetry-to-determine-concentration-of-a-poison
Forensics Case 2 - Bouncing Back: Using ground-penetrating radar to locate buried objects
In this activity, students gather data to explore the use of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to find buried materials. They use a range finder to detect the presence of an object and to distinguish between different-shaped objects. They find the buried car and help solve a case.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-2--bouncing-back-using-groundpenetrating-radar-to-locate-buried-objects
