Bouncing Ball
In this activity, students examine the motion of a ball as it falls under the influence of gravity. The parameters in the vertex form of the quadratic equation Y = A(X - H)2 + K are determined to describe the behavior of a ball bounce.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bouncing-ball
How High Will it Bounce?
Students collect the height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2™. They find the relationship between the bounce number and the bounce height. They also learn to graph scatter plots, calculate the maximum value of a parabola, analyze and find an exponential regression for the rebou...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-high-will-it-bounce

Sound of the Bouncing Ball
In this activity, students will develop a mathematical model that is based on the time interval of the sound the ball makes on impact between consecutive bounces. They will then use the model to predict how long the ball would (theoretically) bounce.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sound-of-the-bouncing-ball

Exploring Hyperbolas
Students will explore the hyperbola by investigating links between its standard equation form and its graph. They will also discover the center and the focal lengths of the hyperbola as well as see applications of the hyperbola in the real world.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-hyperbolas
Motorcycle Jump
Students will explore quadratic functions in the form of a motorcycle jumping off of a ramp. Students will maximize the height of the jump and the airtime of the jump.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/motorcycle-jump
Discriminating Against the Zero
In this introductory activity, students explore when a graph has two zeros, one zero, and no real zeros. They will also determine when a graph has real, rational, irrational, or imaginary roots. The teacher should then follow up with a formal discussion on the discriminant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discriminating-against-the-zero
Exploring Higher Degree Polynomials
Investigate graphical and algebraic representations of a polynomial function and its linear factors.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-higher-degree-polynomials
Getting into the Swing (Pendulum)
In this activity, students will explore how a pendulum moves by placing a pendulum bob directly across from a CBR™ 2 motion sensor. Distance and time data are collected for several swings. The graph of the data can be modeled by a sinusoidal function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/getting-into-the-swing_ns
