Modeling Basketball and Golf shots with Quadratics
Students learn the quadratic equation in vertex form by modeling President Obama shooting hoops. Then attempt to hit a hole-in-one on 3 holes of golf by determining the equation of the flight of the ball. The activity concludes with a 10-question quiz.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-basketball-and-golf-shots-with-quadratics
Introduction to CAS. Adding polynomials, solving equations, factoring trinomials, expanding
This series of activities provides an introduction to some Algebra concelpts using CAS. The activities start with Algebra tiles and CAS. Patterning is modelled for the students so that they can construct the knowledge rather than be given a set of rules. The activities look at adding and subtr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introduction-to-cas--adding-polynomials-solving-equations-factoring-trinomials-expanding

Vernier - Heat of Fusion
In this activity, students will use a calorimeter to measure the amount of heat needed to melt ice and determine the heat of fusion for ice. EasyData™ is needed for this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--heat-of-fusion
Vernier - A Good Cold Pack
Students use the EasyTemp temperature probe to determine temperature changes as different solid substances dissolve in water. They then develop and test a plan for making the best cold pack using three grams of one of the substances. EasyData™ is needed for this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--a-good-cold-pack
Vernier - A Speedy Slide with EasyData™ App and CBR 2™
Students will use a CBR 2™ motion detector to determine their speed or velocity going down a playground slide. They will also experiment with different ways to increase their speed going down the slide.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--a-speedy-slide-with-easydata-app-and-cbr-2
Vernier - Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions
Students will observe two chemical reactions. They will use an EasyTemp probe to determine the change in temperature and identify endothermic and exothermic reactions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--endothermic-and-exothermic-reactions
Vernier - Air Resistance
Students use the Vernier Motion Detector to measure the effect of air resistance on falling objects. They determine how air resistance and mass affect the terminal velocity of a falling object and then choose a force model that fits the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--air-resistance_1
