They will also compare how magnetic field strength changes wit...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/induced-magnetic-fields
Electromagnets
In this activity, students will create a solenoid-type electromagnet using two different methods of coiling the wire around the core. They will use a sensor to determine the relationship between the number of turns of wire and the magnetic field strength for each method.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electromagnets
Energy of Free Oscillations
Students explore energy transformation and energy conservation in simulated spring-mass oscillations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/energy-of-free-oscillations
Manipulating Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis may very well be the most important biochemical process in the living world. OK, it IS the most important biochemical process in the living world! In this activity, see how manipulating the amount of light and carbon dioxide can change the photosynthetic production of a plant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/manipulating-photosynthesis
Modeling Genetic Crosses
Using the random integer generator and the graphing capability of TI-Nspire, several types of Mendelian Genetic crosses are simulated in this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-genetic-crosses
Tool - Stopwatch
This tool can be used alone, or you can copy/paste it into another TNS document.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tool--stopwatch
Natural Selection (HS)
In this lesson, students will model natural selection, providing an opportunity to make predictions about evolution in a population over a short period of time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/natural-selection-hs
Tool - Unit Conversion
In this lesson, students are introducted to the basics of how to effectively use this tool. This tool can be used alone, or you can copy/paste it into another TNS document.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tool--unit-conversion

This tool can be used alone, or you can copy/paste it into another TNS document.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tool--chemical-balance
Terminal Velocity
In this lesson, students will define terminal velocity and analyze the relationship between mass and terminal velocity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/terminal-velocity
Vernier - Vapor Pressure of Liquids
Students investigate the relationship between the vapor pressure of liquid and its temperature. They use a Pressure Sensor and a Temperature Probe to collect pressure and temperature data. Students compare the vapor pressure of two liquids.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--vapor-pressure-of-liquids
Friction: Your Friend or Your Enemy?
In this lesson, students explore static and kinetic friction by dragging shoes with different types of soles across a table at a constant pace. Alternative procedure for the Vernier Go Direct® sensors with TI-Nspire CX II is included in the downloads.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/friction-your-friend-or-your-enemy
