What Does a Buffer Do?
Buffers are solutions that resist a change in pH. In this activity, students will add HCl dropwise to a measured amount of water, monitoring the pH. Students then repeat the process, using a simple buffer prepared by combining baking soda and tonic water. A comparison of the results will allow...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-does-a-buffer-do
Vernier - Dissolved Oxygen
Students use the Dissolved Oxygen Probe to measure the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water from streams and rivers. They correlate the availability of dissolved oxygen to temperature, pressure, and salinity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--dissolved-oxygen
Electrolysis of Water
Students will learn to write the half reactions that occur at each electrode during the electrolysis of water, performed in microscale using a 9V battery as a power source. In monitoring the pH at each electrode, studens will learn that H2 is accompanied by the formation of OH- ions and that H+ i...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electrolysis-of-water
How Cool are You?
Purpose: You will collect and analyze data on a model of the perspiration process.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-cool-are-you
Vernier - An Inclined Plane
In this activity, students will use a Force Sensor to measure the force needed to lift an object and the force needed to pull the same object up an inclined plane. They will also calculate work done and efficiency and make conclusions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--an-inclined-plane
Vernier - The Magnetic Field in a Slinky
Students use a Magnetic Field Sensor to measure the magnetic field and the current in a solenoid. They explore factors that affect the magnetic field, study how the field varies in parts of the solenoid, and determine the permeability constant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--the-magnetic-field-in-a-slinky
Vernier - Friction
Students study how the nature of two materials in contact, and the smoothness of their surfaces affect the magnitude of the sliding force of friction. They use a force sensor to measure frictional force for different surfaces.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--friction
Predictable Patterns with Addition
Students learn to compare numbers. They generate patterns using repeated addends and different starting points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/predictable-patterns-with-addition
Patterns in Counting with Decimals
Students use the calculator to represent decimals and to recognize patterns in the number symbols.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/patterns-in-counting-with-decimals
Reading Picture Graphs
Students learn to read simple picture graphs with the help of a calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reading-picture-graphs
The Mysterious Constant
Students investigate a pattern using the constant function on the calculator, record the ordered pairs in a table, describe the pattern, and predict what will come next.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-mysterious-constant
Cells Never Lie
A forensics activity which deals with the idea of alcohol poisoning. Based on a Vernier Biology Lab on cell distruction in alcohol and Chemistry's Beer's Law.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cells-never-lie
Celsius and Fahrenheit Number Line
A number line comparing temperatures in Celsius and Fahrenheit.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/celsius-and-fahrenheit-number-line
Who Started It All? The Spread Of Disease
Students predict the spread of disease to be exponential. They then do a hands on "sharing of bodily fluids" and see the actual data and compare these results to the projected model. You actually see the number of infected after each sharing to see the shift of the model easier. Written to be c...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/who-started-it-all--the-spread-of-disease
No More Peas, Please!
Students explore the use of nonstandard units of volume and calculators to estimate the number of peas it would take to fill a classroom.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/no-more-peas-please
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Spree, Part II - Daughters" - Galton Board
...lls are dropped from the top of the board, they strike the pins and will fall either to the left or to the right and eventually land in numbered bins at the bottom. Students will use the results to approximate a normal curve, and will also see how adding obstacles to the board affects the probabi...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--spree-part-ii--daughters--galton-board
Action-Packed Stories
Students learn to use whole numbers and the operations of addition and subtraction. They choose a number and create a story using the number selected and illustrate the number story. They represent the action in the story on the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/actionpacked-stories
Making Picture Graphs
Students learn to make picture graphs with symbols that represent more than one piece of data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-picture-graphs
Is it Normal
In this activity, students will use the idea of a normal distribution to pull together multiple areas of probability and statistics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-it-normal
What is an Exponent?
Why are exponents useful and how do they behave? An exponent indicates how many times the base to which it refers is a factor; i.e., in , the 4 indicates that the base, 3, is used as a factor four times. This lesson focuses on how the definition can be used in a variety of situations to make sens...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-an-exponent--bc
