Vernier - Energy in Food
Students will use the temperature probe to measure temperature changes to measure and compare the energy content of different foods.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--energy-in-food
Vectors In Component Form
Students experiment with an interactive 2 dimensional vector and observe the corresponding changes to its representation in i and j component form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vectors-in-component-form
Vernier - Transpiration
In this lesson, students will use the gas pressure sensor to observe the overall transpiration process in plants.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--transpiration
Water Quality Testing
This water quality project has been designed around a monthly sampling routine for the extent of the project scope. One of the sampling days involved three different classes, each class sampling a different station. This project measured several biotic / abiotic factors to determine the interre...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/water-quality-testing
Pendulum Swing – Part 1
Students use a motion detector (CBR) and pendulum (fishing float) to collect data for the motion of a pendulum. The quality of the data never ceases to amaze students and teachers. Students align practical knowledge, logic and familiarity with the various parameters to transform a basic trigono...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pendulum-swing--part-1
Fill the Vase
Students interpret graphs of empirical data with respect to rate of change of the height of water in vases of different shapes that are being filled at a constant rate. Students are provided with a range of graphs and vases. For each graph they must reshape the vase in order to match the volume –...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fill-the-vase
Sweating Alcohol
In this lesson, students will measure and graph the rate at which room-temperature water and alcohol cool as they evaporate. Then, they will draw a conclusion about the rates at which polar and nonpolar liquids evaporate.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sweating-alcohol
Cellular Respiration
In this activity, students will use a carbon dioxide gas sensor to measure the rate at which non-germinating and germinating peas undergo cellular respiration. Students also investigate the influence of temperature on the rate of cellular respiration.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cellular-respiration
Intermolecular Forces
In this lesson, students will first observe the changing charge cloud that surrounds a single polar molecule (HCl) and a single non-polar molecule (Cl2).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/intermolecular-forces

Limaçons: A Polar Investigation
This activity allows students to investigate the properties of limaçons in the polar forms of both r =a +b*sin(θ) and r =a+b*cos(θ). Using a slider, values of a and b change as students investigate looped or flattened limaçons, as well as, cardioids. Students examine symmetry and the effect...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/limaçons-a-polar-investigation

Keep It Bottled Up: Linear Rates of Pressure Increase
In this activity, you will see how temperature affects the rate at which an effervescent antacid tablet reacts with water and releases a gas. The rate at which the reaction occurs is measured by the rate of gas production.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/keep-it-bottled-up-linear-rates-of-pressure-increase
Vernier - Boyle's law
The primary objective of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the pressure and volume of a confined gas. The gas we use will be air, and it will be confined in a syringe connected to a Pressure Sensor (see Figure 1). When the volume of the syringe is changed by moving the pist...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--boyles-law
Properties of Solutions: Electrolytes and Nonelectrolytes
In this lesson, students will use a conductivity probe to measure conductivity and determine which molecules are responsible for conductivity of solutions. Alternative procedure for the Vernier Go Direct® sensors with CXII is included in the downloads.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-solutions--electrolytes-and-nonelectrolytes
Cipher Solvers
In this code breaking activity, students are challenged to identify patterns, unravel clues, and triangulate a point on a treasure map.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cipher-solvers
