In this lesson, students will explore the potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE) of a roller coaster.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/energetic-coasters
Plane Mirrors
In this lesson, students will investigate the relationship between an object and its image in a plane mirror. Understanding how plane mirrors work provides a useful scaffold for understanding more complex situations, such as those involving concave and convex mirrors.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/plane-mirrors
NASA - Space Shuttle Roll Manuever
In this lesson, students will look at the RCS (Reaction Control System) and how firing jets affect the roll of the space shuttle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--space-shuttle-roll-manuever
Vernier - A Good Cold Pack
Students use the EasyTemp temperature probe to determine temperature changes as different solid substances dissolve in water. They then develop and test a plan for making the best cold pack using three grams of one of the substances. EasyData™ is needed for this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--a-good-cold-pack
Vernier - A Speedy Slide with EasyData™ App and CBR 2™
Students will use a CBR 2™ motion detector to determine their speed or velocity going down a playground slide. They will also experiment with different ways to increase their speed going down the slide.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--a-speedy-slide-with-easydata-app-and-cbr-2
Graphing Transformations
Combine movement and mystery while graphing transformation and piecewise functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-transformations
Reflections over the Axes
It is important for students to know what happens to the coordinates of points when they are reflected over the x-axis or the y-axis. This activity enables students to use Cabri Jr. to develop this understanding.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reflections-over-the-axes
Population Mean: σ unknown
Students calculate confidence intervals to estimate the true population mean when the standard deviation of the population is not known.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/population-mean--σ-unknown
Normal Distribution
Collecting Data paper, pencil and a coin A quiz has 6 true false questions. You do not get to see the quedstions, but instead will flip a coin for each of your answers. Perform the following steps to see how many questions you can answer correctly without seeing the questions. Step 1 Flip a co...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/normal-distribution
Stretching Slinkies
This lesson provides students with the opportunity to explore the TI-84 graphing calculator in conjunction with Microsoft Excel®. Students will use the "Stretching Slinkies" worksheet to record and enter data. They will either: enter data into Microsoft Excel to synch with the TI-84, OR, enter da...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stretching-slinkies
Best Class
Students will create and explore a box plot and histogram for a data set. They then compare the two data displays by viewing them together and use the comparison to draw conclusions about the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/best-class
Rotations in the Coordinate Plane
It is important for students to know what happens to the coordinates of points when they are rotated in the coordinate plane by 90 or 180 degrees, either clockwise or counterclockwise.
