A Little Light Work
Students will study graphs of light intensity at various distances from a light sensor. They will use power and linear regressions to determine the relationship between light intensity and distance from the light source. They will also develop their own models for the relationship.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/a-little-light-work
A Magnetic Attraction
In this lesson, students will investigate the relationship between magnetic field strength and distance.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/a-magnetic-attraction
AC Circuits
Students explore a model of alternating electric current. They observe the effects of varying voltage, angular velocity, frequency, and phase shift on the shape of the waveform. They also calculate the relative phase shift between two waveforms. Finally, they create a model of a three-phase alter...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ac-circuits
Balancing Torques and Forces
