The River of Life
In this activity, students compare human body mass with blood volume. They graph the data and build a regression model. They estimate their own blood volume and also predict volumes of blood for other animals.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-river-of-life_1
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
Gas Laws introduction (Boyle's and Charle's Law)
The activity contains a simulation of Boyles law and Charles law.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/gas-laws-introduction-boyles-and-charles-law
What Does a Buffer Do?
Buffers are solutions that resist a change in pH. In this activity, students will add HCl dropwise to a measured amount of water, monitoring the pH. Students then repeat the process, using a simple buffer prepared by combining baking soda and tonic water. A comparison of the results will allow...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-does-a-buffer-do
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
Designing a Reaction Rate Experiment
In this activity, students will design, conduct, and report the outcome of an experiment in which they investigate some factor that affects the rate of reaction between baking soda and vinegar. The dynamic nature of the reaction, coupled with a wide range of possible choices of independent varia...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/designing-a-reaction-rate-experiment
Determining Rates of reaction, orders, differntial rate law and the integral rate law.
This activity introduces average and instantaneous rates of reaction.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/determining-rates-of-reaction-orders-differntial-rate-law-and-the-integral-rate-law
Genetics Lab
This activity will allow students to compare the theoretical and empirical results from a genetics lab.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/genetics-lab
Projectile Motion Simulation
Students can investigate the effects of changing various initial quantities on the motion of a projectile. The simulation allows for firing a projectile over or up onto a cliff or over level ground. The results are displayed both graphically and mathematically.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/projectile-motion-simulation
Motion Graphs
Students will be able to explore distance/time graphs and velocity/time graphs. The graphs will be presented to the entire class through TI-Navigator™. Students will then take CBL 2™'s and calculators and create their own graphs (which are assigned to them). Students will then come back and pr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/motion-graphs
