Conserving Energy
Students will find both the kinetic and potential energies as the cart rolls down the ramp. They will find the sum of the two energies, and show that this value is constant at all times.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conserving-energy
Constructing Lines from Individual Points in the Activity Center
Students will understand that a line is made up of many points that all follow the same rule.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-lines-from-individual-points-in-the-activity-center
Box It Up
Students take a numerical and tabular look at finding the maximum value of an open box constructed by folding a rectangular sheet of material with cutout square corners. They also understand the concepts of independent and dependent variables.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-it-up
Velocity and the Bouncing Ball
In this activity, students will explore the position of the ball versus time for a single bounce. They will also examine the relationship between the height of the ball and its velocity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/velocity-and-the-bouncing-ball
Breaking Spaghetti
Students will do a lab where they keep track of the number of strands of spaghetti versus how many "weights" it takes to break the spaghetti. They will enter lists and create a scatter plot. Students will also find the equation for the line of best fit. The TI-Navigator System can then be used...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breaking-spaghetti
Let's Go to the Furniture Market
