Exploring Exponents
Students will investigate and describe negative and zero exponents on the base. Then, students will apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-exponents
Pebbling the Chessboard
It’s amazing how often sequences and series pop up in problem solving. In this deceptively challenging problem three discs are placed on a chessboard in a bounded region. The task is to move the pieces out of this region with the only complication being that pieces double when moved. After you’ve...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pebbling-the-chessboard
Modeling Virus Spread
In this TI-Nspire activity, students will explore a simple introduction to the idea of logistic growth through an easily acted out simulation: spread of a virus through a population.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-virus-spread
100 or Bust
Students explore the operations of addition and subtraction. They use estimation, a place value chart, and a calculator to place seven randomly generated numbers in the ones and tens position in a place-value chart to make a sum as close to 100 as possible.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/100-or-bust
Patterns in Division
Students investigate how the quotients and remainders from integer division relate to the quotients from rational number division in both fraction and decimal form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/patterns-in-division
Symmetry with Pattern Blocks
Students learn to use pattern blocks to build a design that has a line of symmetry. They use the calculator to determine the value of half the design. They predict and then find the value of the entire design.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/symmetry-with-pattern-blocks
Making Multiples
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to explore asexual and sexual reproduction.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-multiples
Lynx and Snowshoe Hare Cycle
In this lesson, students will analyze a predator/prey graph that represents the population cycling of the lynx and the snowshoe hare.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lynx-and-snowshoe-hare-cycle
Classification Challenge
In this lesson, students will analyze and describe how organisms are classified according to shared characteristics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/classification-challenge
Heart and Lungs - The Beat Goes On
In this lesson, students will study the effect of exercise on heart rate, respiratory rate, and airflow in and out of the lungs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/heart-and-lungs--the-beat-goes-on
Eating and Exercise (MG)
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to observe and manipulate the factors that affect weight over time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/eating-and-exercise-mg
Sound Waves
In this activity, students will explore animation of a sound wave in air.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sound-waves
Circuit Construction Kit (MG)
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to observe and manipulate an electric current, voltage and resistance.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circuit-construction-kit-mg
Chemical Reactions
In this lesson, students will explore chemical reactions and their products and balance chemical equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chemical-reactions
Vernier - Heart Rate and Physical Fitness
In this lesson, students will use the heart rate monitor to analyze heart rates in different situations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--heart-rate-and-physical-fitness
Newton's Second Law
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to explore the acceleration of a frictionless cart being pulled by a steady force.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/newtons-second-law
Heat Transfer
In this lesson, students will investigate a closed system of particles that can be heated or cooled.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/heat-transfer
Balancing the Plank
In this lesson, students will simulate a teeter-totter where people and objects of different masses are placed.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/balancing-the-plank
Balancing Act (MG)
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to observe and manipulate the variables of a lever and fulcrum as well as force vectors and torque.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/balancing-act-mg
DC Circuits
In this lesson, students explore an animation of particle flow in a battery.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dc-circuits
Energy Skate Park (MG)
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to manipulate several variables that impact the way a skateboarder moves on a track.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/energy-skate-park-mg
Vernier - Acid Rain
Students use the pH sensor to measure changes in the pH when CO2 dissolves in water. They also study the changes in the pH when sulphuric acid is added to water and identify water bodies most likely to be affected by acid rain.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--acid-rain
Eating and Exercise (HS)
