In this lesson, students will use a simulation to explore electric fields near point charges.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electric-fields
Vernier - Air Resistance
Students use the Vernier Motion Detector to measure the effect of air resistance on falling objects. They determine how air resistance and mass affect the terminal velocity of a falling object and then choose a force model that fits the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--air-resistance_1
Vernier - Chill Out: How Hot Objects Cool
Students use a temperature probe to collect data as the warmed probe cools. Students investigate Newton's law of cooling and model cooling data with an exponential function. They fit the data to a mathematical model after analysis.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--chill-out-how-hot-objects-cool
Buying a Car Activity with the TVM Solver (Time, Value, Money)

Stacking Bricks - 84
This activity presents a real-world situation--stacking bricks in a pile--that can be modeled by a polynomial function. Students create a small table to show how the number of bricks relates to the number of rows, and calculate the first, second, and third differences of the data. Next they use t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stacking-bricks
Estimating a Population Proportion
Students find the confidence interval for a population proportion by first finding the critical value and the margin of error.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-a-population-proportion

Students test claims of whether given distributions "fit" theoretical distributions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/goodnessoffit
Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal
Students will develop and strengthen their knowledge about the angles formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal. The measurement tool helps them discover the relationships between and among the various angles in the figure. Students will draw parallel lines, draw a transversal, and expl...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines-cut-by-a-transversal_2
