Studying Wave Phenomena with "WaveSim"
This is a program allowing teacher/student to interactively and graphically investigate a variety of wave concepts commonly studied in physics: traveling waves, standing waves, beats, Doppler effect, two-point source interference, Fourier wave forms, reflection and refraction, amplitude modulatio...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/studying-wave-phenomena-with-wavesim
Collecting Solar Rays
In this activity, students' will use three Temperature Sensors to collect data from three solar collectors and determine which one absorbs the most heat. They will develop an understanding of the difference between absorption and reflection.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/collecting-solar-rays
Who Started it All?
Students look at the spread of disease and predict the model for that spread. Data is taken at the end of each "sharing" and the exponential model predicted is found to be faulty. The logistic model is then explore. Since we have the list of contacts and the data per contact we can trace it ba...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/who-started-it-all
The Ball and All of Its Energy
Students will collect data using a CBR-2 and a ball. The will create an Nspire document to analyze the energy of that toss. Students learn how to collect data, create documents and graphs to analyze data and understand the ideas of conservation of energy.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ball-and-all-of-its-energy
Toys on a slope
Participants analyze data from toys rolling down a slope. Velocity is determined using lists and graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/toys-on-a-slope
Steppin' Out
Students will use the Data/Graphs Wizard tool to graph data and determine a line that best fits your data and use the Data/Graphs Wizard tool to identify the relationship between stride length and height.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/steppin-out
Who Started It All? The Spread Of Disease
Students predict the spread of disease to be exponential. They then do a hands on "sharing of bodily fluids" and see the actual data and compare these results to the projected model. You actually see the number of infected after each sharing to see the shift of the model easier. Written to be c...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/who-started-it-all--the-spread-of-disease
Boyle's Law
