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
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_ns
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
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
Getting into the Swing (Pendulum) - 84
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_84
Cooling Down - 84
In this activity, students will collect data as a heated temperature sensor cools for three minutes, graph the cooling curve, and determine a model to fit the temperature versus time data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cooling-down_84
Breast Cancer: When Good DNA Goes Bad
This problem-based learning simulation takes students inside the real world of cancer research, diagnostics and treatment.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breast-cancer
Cooling Down
In this activity, students will collect data as a heated temperature sensor cools for three minutes, graph the cooling curve, and determine a model to fit the temperature versus time data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cooling-down_ns
Orbit Of Jupiter
This activity explores models for the elliptical orbit of Jupiter. Problem 1 reviews the geometric definition of an ellipse as students calculate a and b from the perihelion and aphelion of Jupiter. Problem 2 develops the concept of a parametric curve by using a data capture to discover the coord...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/orbit-of-jupiter_1
Function or Relation?
In this activity, students will use graphs and lists to determine if sets of data represent functions or relations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/function-or-relation_1
Maximizing Your Efforts
Students write an objective function and graph the system of inequalities to find the maximum profit from selling two types of game players.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/maximizing-your-efforts_1
Graphs of Rational Functions 2
Investigate the graphs of rational functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphs-of-rational-functions2
