Can You Hear the Ball Bounce?
Most students instinctively know already that for each consecutive bounce, a ball will reach slightly less height than in the bounce before. They may have even explored the mathematical model that describes how the height decreases for a series of bounces, like the one shown in Figure 1. In p...https://education.ti.com/en/bulletinboard/ball-bounce-activity

From Conception to Birth Time Line
A time line showing the stages of human gestation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/from-conception-to-birth-time-line
Vernier - Microscale Acid-Base Titration
In this activity, students' will use a pH sensor to determine the change in pH during a titration of a known concentration of NaOH and unknown concentration of HCl. Students' will determine the concentration of unknown HCl.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--microscale-acidbase-titration
Seed Growth
To observe germination and understand plant seeding development. To use the graphics calculator to find the line of regression.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/seed-growth
Titration Experiment
This activity is a fast and safe microscale experiment which allows students to quickly determine the molariy of three weak acids (vinegar, soda, and citric acid). Since the process involves a monoprotic, diprotic, and a triprotic acid, students recieve good exposure to the stoichiometry involve...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/titration-experiment
