You're So Dense - TI-83
Students investigate the relationship between density of an object, its mass and its volume. They use mass and volume measurements to determine the density of pennies. They compare the density of pre-1983 and post-1984 pennies.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/youre-so-dense--ti83
Parametric Equations and Graph Data Bases
Parametric equations are equations that express the coordinates x and y as separate functions of a common third variable, called the parameter. You can use parametric equations to determine the position of an object over time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parametric-equations-and-graph-data-bases
Trains in Motion
Students will make observations about the motion of two objects. They will compare and contrast this motion and consider how it corresponds to a graph representing distance as a function of time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trains-in-motion
