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
Vernier - Falling Objects
In this activity, students will use a Motion Detector to measure distance and velocity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--falling-objects
Vernier - Picket Fence Free Fall
In this activity, students will measure the acceleration of a freely falling body (g) to better than 0.5% precision with the help of a Picket Fence and a Photogate.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--picket-fence-free-fall
Tiles in a Bag
How many tiles would you have to pick to be confident that your estimated probability truly represents the situation? In this activity, you will draw a tile from a bag, record its color and put it back in the bag. The bag contains 24 tiles some blue and some green. A green tile is considered a s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tiles-in-a-bag
Best Class
Students will create and explore a box plot and histogram for a data set. They then compare the two data displays by viewing them together and use the comparison to draw conclusions about the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/best-class
Parallel and Perpendicular Slopes
This activity is for use as a formative assessment tool after the introduction and overview of parallel and perpendicular slopes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-and-perpendicular-slopes
Parallel Lines
This lesson allows students to explore what parallel lines are and how the equations for parallel lines relate to each other.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines
Patterns in the Periodic Table
Students will create a linear model using data from the periodic table - atomic number and atomic mass - and make predictions about "missing" or "unknown" elements.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/patterns-in-the-periodic-table
Systems of Linear Equations
This activity is a series of LearningCheck™ documents to be used during a unit on solving systems of linear equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/systems-of-linear-equations_1
