A Little Light Work
Students will study graphs of light intensity at various distances from a light sensor. They will use power and linear regressions to determine the relationship between light intensity and distance from the light source. They will also develop their own models for the relationship.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/a-little-light-work
Stream Erosion
In this lesson, students will manipulate the slope of the surface over which the water is flowing to show varying rates of erosion and deposition.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stream-erosion
Hit the Target
In this lesson, students will explore the range of a marble that rolls down a ramp and off a table. The goal is for students to develop a mathematical model that will allow them to hit a target placed on the floor on the first try.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hit-the-target
Damped and Driven Harmonic Motion
Students explore the properties of waveforms representing damped and driven simple harmonic motion. First, they identify the functional form of the damping in a simple harmonic oscillator. Then, they discover the relationship between the driving frequency, the fundamental frequency, and the dampi...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/damped-and-driven-harmonic-motion
Entropy
In this activity, students will investigate entropy from the point of view of microstates, macrostates, and probability. The goal of the activity is to help students better understand the relationship between probability and entropy. Students will learn that, in the case of the second law of ther...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/entropy
Tool - Stopwatch

NASA - Space Bugs
The goal of this laboratory is to investigate the mechanisms responsible for physiological changes of the immune system, so that appropriate countermeasures or interventions can be developed for future human space exploration missions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--space-bugs
Natural Selection (HS)
In this lesson, students will model natural selection, providing an opportunity to make predictions about evolution in a population over a short period of time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/natural-selection-hs
How dense are we
In this activity students use scientific notation to compare populations, state land areas and the corresponding population density.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-dense-are-we
Water Quality Testing
This water quality project has been designed around a monthly sampling routine for the extent of the project scope. One of the sampling days involved three different classes, each class sampling a different station. This project measured several biotic / abiotic factors to determine the interre...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/water-quality-testing
Tool - Unit Conversion
In this lesson, students are introducted to the basics of how to effectively use this tool. This tool can be used alone, or you can copy/paste it into another TNS document.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tool--unit-conversion
Tool - Chemical Balance
This tool can be used alone, or you can copy/paste it into another TNS document.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tool--chemical-balance
Like Moths Around a Flame
In this lesson, students examine data about moths and draw conclusions of how the environment impacts their populations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/like-moths-around-a-flame
Gradient of a function
This activity introduces the notion of the gradient of a curve. Initial exploration involves a dynamic tangent where students can use prior knowledge of the gradient of a straight line to determine if the slope is negative, zero or positive. The second stage of the activity goes one step further ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/gradient-of-a-function

Limaçons: A Polar Investigation
This activity allows students to investigate the properties of limaçons in the polar forms of both r =a +b*sin(θ) and r =a+b*cos(θ). Using a slider, values of a and b change as students investigate looped or flattened limaçons, as well as, cardioids. Students examine symmetry and the effect...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/limaçons-a-polar-investigation
World Population - 84
In this TI-84 activity, students use their graphing calculator to explore world population data from the years 1950-2023. They will develop various equations to model the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/world-population
Optimization - IB
Students learn how to use the second derivative test to find maxima and minima in word problems and solve optimization in parametric functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/optimization_ns_ib
