Students will use the Data/Graphs Wizard tool to graph data and determine a line that best fits your data and use the Data/Graphs Wizard tool to identify the relationship between stride length and height.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/steppin-out
Who Started It All? The Spread Of Disease
Students predict the spread of disease to be exponential. They then do a hands on "sharing of bodily fluids" and see the actual data and compare these results to the projected model. You actually see the number of infected after each sharing to see the shift of the model easier. Written to be c...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/who-started-it-all--the-spread-of-disease
