Electromagnetism
Students use an animated diagram of a magnetic field and a coil. Students rotate the coil and determine the number of magnetic field lines passing through the coil at a given angle. Students graph the relationship and then consider the rate of change of the magnetic field.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electromagnetism
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
Punnett Square
In this activity students will explore the rules of Mendelian Genetics using a single trait, height, in pea plants. A monohybrid cross using a simple Punnett Square is performed. Students can randomize their parental generation using the reset button so they can explore all facets of dominant and...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/punnett-square
Entropy
In this activity, students will investigate entropy from the point of view of microstates, macrostates, and probability. The goal of the activity is to help students better understand the relationship between probability and entropy. Students will learn that, in the case of the second law of ther...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/entropy
Photosynthesis Assessment
This TI-Nspire™ question set (.tns) has assessment questions relating to Biology: Photosynthesis.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/photosynthesis-assessment
Vernier - Energy in Food
In this lesson, students will monitor the energy given off by food as it burns.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--energy-in-food
Vernier - Acids and Bases
In this lesson, students will explore how living organisms can maintain a stable internal pH - even in the event of environmental changes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--acids-and-bases
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
How dense are we
In this activity students use scientific notation to compare populations, state land areas and the corresponding population density.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-dense-are-we
The Fibonacci Sequence
...found in nature, architecture and number theory. In this investigation, students explore some of the patterns within the sequence such as the consecutive sum of the squared terms. What about the last digit of term 60, 61, 62 ... what pattern do these form? Don't worry, the magical phi is not left...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-fibonacci-sequence
Geometric Sequences and Series
Imagine you just arrived home from school, you’re really hungry. You decide the block of chocolate will help you with your homework. Pretty soon half the block is gone, so you quickly put it back in the refrigerator. Your brother arrives home, spots the half eaten block of chocolate and imm...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-sequences-and-series
Tower of Hanoi
Students explore the relationship between the number of discs and moves required to solve the classic “Tower of Hanoi” problem. The TI-Nspire file contains an interactive model produced by Andy Kemp. The interactive model allows you to change the number of disks and automaticall...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tower-of-hanoi
Vectors In Component Form
Students experiment with an interactive 2 dimensional vector and observe the corresponding changes to its representation in i and j component form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vectors-in-component-form
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
