This project measured several biotic / abiotic factors to determine the interre...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/water-quality-testing
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
Students generate random polynomials and observe the distribution of the zeros on the complex plane. From the distributions students are able to draw conclusions about the zeros, and therefore roots, of a polynomial in order to gain a better visual understanding of the Fundamental Theorem of Alge...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fundamental-theorem-of-algebra
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
Award Winning Data
Arguably the most famous awards in the world, but are the Academy Awards® ageist and sexist? The mean age of female winners is 36 compared with males at 44, but Jessica Tandy (Driving Miss Daisy) won an award at age 81, the oldest award recipient. Katherine Hepburn won an award at age 74. Wha...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/academy-awards
Gradient of a function
This activity introduces the notion of the gradient of a curve. Initial exploration involves a dynamic tangent where students can use prior knowledge of the gradient of a straight line to determine if the slope is negative, zero or positive. The second stage of the activity goes one step further ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/gradient-of-a-function
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
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
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
