Centripetal Acceleration
To observe the centripetal acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion. Relate the changes in velocity and radius to the centripetal acceleration.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/centripetal-acceleration
Circular Motion
In UCM, the net force called Fc is equal to mv2/r and is directed toward the center. This is demonstrated by an object that is suspended by a string and is moving in a circular path which makes a conical pendulum. In this experiment, you will measure the tension and the length of the string to ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circular-motion_1

Meet my friend the calculator
This activity/lesson introduces the students to calculators and how to use them to find numbers 1 - 20.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/meet-my-friend-the-calculator
Mean As a Fair Share
This lesson introduces students to mean as a way to describe the center of a set of data. Often called the average, the mean can also be visualized as “leveling out” the data in the sense of “fair share”.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mean-as-a-fair-share-bc
Box Plots
In this lesson, students plot the two extreme values (minimum and maximum), the lower quartile (LQ), upper quartile (UQ), and the median (a five-number summary) on a number line to create a graph called is a box plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-plots-bc

Surface Area of Cylinder Song
Here's a silly song that I use with my classes to help them remember how to find the surface area of cylinders. My students actually suggested that I submit this!https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/surface-area-of-cylinder-song
Parallel or Perpendicular-What's Your Inclination?
This activity has students discover the relationship between parallel and perpendicular lines and their slopes. After constructing these objects using CABRI Geometry II for the TI-89, slopes are measured.

What's the Angle?
Students discover properties of interior and exterior angles of convex polygons using the TI-89 and Geometer's Sketchpad. (Topic - Interior and Exterior Angles of Convex Polygons)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-the-angle
What's the Spin?
Students discover properties of rotations using the TI-89 and CABRI Geometry II by rotating a triangle around a point and through a specified angle. They will discover the definition of a rotation. (Topic -- Rotations and their relation to reflect)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-the-spin
Conics in Geometry
This lesson has students construct 3 conic sections through geometric definitions. Using the CABRI™ Geometry II application for the TI-89, students construct a parabola, an ellipse, and a hyperbola. (Topics - geometric shapes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conics-in-geometry
