Forensics Case 11 - Ashes to Ashes: Using evaporation rate to identify an unknown liquid
In this activity, students understand that evaporation rate is a characteristic property of a liquid. Based on this fact, they identify the solution and the likely accelerant in a case of arson. They compare the evaporation rates of the accelerants found with the suspects with those near the crim...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-11--ashes-to-ashes-using-evaporation-rate-to-identify-an-unknown-liquid
Forensics Case 3 - Name That Tune: Matching musical tones through waveform analysis
In this activity, students analyze sound waves to calculate the frequency or pitch of musical notes. They use a Microphone to detect the waveform of a musical note. Students calculate the frequency of a musical note from the period of its waveform and use this knowledge to identify the musical n...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-3--name-that-tune-matching-musical-tones-through-waveform-analysis
Infinite Geometric Series
Students explore infinite geometric series. They will consider the effect of the value for the common ratio and determine whether an infinite geometric series converges or diverges.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/infinite-geometric-series
Linear Inequalities
Students observe tables of values to see that inequalities are true for some values of the variable and not for others.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-inequalities_2
Change Of Base
Discover the change of base rule for logarithms by examining the ratio of two logarithmic functions with different bases.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/change-of-base
Convergence of Taylor Series
A Taylor Series for a function becomes the function as the number of terms increases towards infinity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/convergence-of-taylor-series
The sum of the interior angles of regular polygons
The students will construct triangles within regular-sided polygons to determine the sum of the interior angles. They will then, using statistics, create a linear regression to determine the relationship between the number of sides of a regular polygon and the sum of its interior angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-sum-of-the-interior-angles-of-regular-polygons
Transformtions and Tessellations
