Students examine the physics behind NASA astronauts participating in a C-9 flight simulating microgravity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--weightless-wonder--reduced-gravity-flight
Why Bigger is Not Necessarily Better
In this lesson, students will discover the dynamic relationship between the surface area and the volume of a "cell."https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/why-bigger-is-not-necessarily-better
Skills of Science - Graphical Analysis
In this lesson, students will graph different data sets to determine the mathematical relationship.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/skills-of-science--graphical-analysis
Spring Constant
Students explore the relationship between displacement and restoring force for an elastic spring.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/spring-constant
Bending Light
In this activity, students explore the refraction of a single light ray. They begin by exploring light traveling from a less dense medium into a denser medium. They use a numerical approach to establish a relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction. Then, students expl...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bending-light
Conductivity of Solutions
This is an investigation of conductivity and concentration of ionic solutions. Students create a plot of conductivity and concentration and calculate a mathematical model for this relationship. They will also look at substances that release differing numbers of ions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conductivity-of-solutions
A Magnetic Attraction
In this lesson, students will investigate the relationship between magnetic field strength and distance.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/a-magnetic-attraction
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
Electromagnetism
Students use an animated diagram of a magnetic field and a coil. Students rotate the coil and determine the number of magnetic field lines passing through the coil at a given angle. Students graph the relationship and then consider the rate of change of the magnetic field.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electromagnetism
Electromagnets
In this activity, students will create a solenoid-type electromagnet using two different methods of coiling the wire around the core. They will use a sensor to determine the relationship between the number of turns of wire and the magnetic field strength for each method.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electromagnets
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
Manipulating Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis may very well be the most important biochemical process in the living world. OK, it IS the most important biochemical process in the living world! In this activity, see how manipulating the amount of light and carbon dioxide can change the photosynthetic production of a plant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/manipulating-photosynthesis
Skills of Science - Graphical Analysis (MG)
In this lesson, students will graph different data sets to determine the mathematical relationship.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/skills-of-science--graphical-analysis-mg
Vernier - Lemon Juice
In this lesson, students will study some basic principles of cells using the juice of a lemon as the cell solution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--lemon-juice
Vernier - Exploring Magnetism
In this lesson, students will investigate the relationship between the orientation of the sensor and the strength of the magnetic field.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--exploring-magnetism
Terminal Velocity
In this lesson, students will define terminal velocity and analyze the relationship between mass and terminal velocity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/terminal-velocity
Forensics with TI-Nspire™ - Case File: Tracks of a Killer
In this activity, students will analyze the relationship between shoe size, stride length, and height, and then use that information to identify the killer.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-with-tinspiresuptmsup--case-1-tracks-of-a-killer
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
