Toys on a slope
Participants analyze data from toys rolling down a slope. Velocity is determined using lists and graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/toys-on-a-slope
Steppin' Out
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
Transmission Lines
Describes how to calculate the characteristic impedance and phase velocity on transmission lines. Steady state transmission line behavior and simple matching concepts are included also. The functions reflcoef(), lineleng(), zin(), yin() and vswr() are created.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transmission-lines
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Take Out" - Restaurant Ranking
In "Take Out", a series of restaurant invasions turn deadly. The FBI asks Charlie to help, so he develops a predictive model to try to identify the next restaurant that will be targeted. He says that 'it's a way of investigating a group of things -- in this case, restaurants -- and identifying th...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--take-out--restaurant-ranking
Lifting a Lion
In this activity, students will practice solving a real-world problem. Using a toy lion and a lever, students first discover how much work is needed to raise a toy lion. They will then use proportions to determine the force needed to lift a real lion.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lifting-a-lion
The Ordinary Man
Students will estimate the heights of various celebrities in feet and inches. They will use the TI-34 MultiView™ scientific calculator to convert actual heights in inches to feet and inches, and they will compare the actual heights with their estimated heights. Finally, they will graph the estima...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ordinary-man
