They learn how to develop a formula from a pattern of increasing voltage and...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/add-them-up
Projectile Motion Simulation
Students can investigate the effects of changing various initial quantities on the motion of a projectile. The simulation allows for firing a projectile over or up onto a cliff or over level ground. The results are displayed both graphically and mathematically.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/projectile-motion-simulation
Science TODAY™ - How the Olympic Swimsuit Gives Athletes an Edge
Students will look at the potential impact of an improvement in the equipment used by world-class swimmers. They will also look at the improvement in the world records for men and women in the 100 Meter Freestyle race.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/science-today--how-the-olympic-swimsuit-gives-athletes-an-edge
