They learn to graph scatter plots, analyze linear function, ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hookes-law
Hooke's Law: The Rest of the Story
Students study Hooke's Law. They explore the linear behavior of a spring as it is pulled downward and understand that stretch on a spring is directly proportional to the force applied to the end of the string. Students create scatter plots, calculate slopes, and discuss positive and negative slopes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hookes-law-the-rest-of-the-story
I Am Your Density
Students will model data using a linear equation, interpret the slope and intercept values from a linear model, and identify a characteristic property of a substance.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/i-am-your-density
Curve Ball
In this activity, students' will create a Height-Time plot for a bouncing ball and use a quadratic equation to describe the ball's motion.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/curve-ball
Solar Cookers and Easy Data
Students use a TI-84, Easy Temp and Easy Data to measure the quality of their solar cookers. Hot dogs are heated under the May sunshine after students design, build and test their own solar cookers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solar-cookers-and-easy-data
Vernier - An Inclined Plane
In this activity, students will use a Force Sensor to measure the force needed to lift an object and the force needed to pull the same object up an inclined plane. They will also calculate work done and efficiency and make conclusions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--an-inclined-plane
Energy Skate Park - PhET (HS)
TBDhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/energy-skate-park--phet-hs
Vernier - Evaporation and Intermolecular Attractions
Students will study temperature changes caused by the evaporation of alkenes and alcohols and relate this data to the strength of intermolecular forces of attraction. They will also predict, and then measure, the temperature change for other liquids.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--evaporation-and-intermolecular-attractions
Falling Down
In this activity, students' will determine the average speed of a falling object. They will observe whether or not changing the mass and keeping the same shape have an effect on the average speed of the object.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/falling-down
What's Your Speed?
In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to determine what effect the speed at which a person moves has on the appearance of the Distance versus Time plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-your-speed
