Students will use the Chain Rule to find the derivative of more complex exponential and logarithmic functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-derivatives-of-logs
Assessing Normality
In this activity, students will learn four characteristics of a normal curve: the distribution is symmetric and mound-shaped; the mean and median are approximately equal; the distribution meets the 68-95.5-99.7 rule; and the normal probability plot is linear. They will use these to determine if a...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/assessing-normality

Students will be introduced to the concept of finding the volume of a solid formed by cross sections of a function that form certain shapes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/volume-by-cross-sections_1
Simple Harmonic Motion
With an example of the motion of a child on a swing, the activity begins with the trigonometric function between time and displacement and differentiates up to acceleration.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/simple-harmonic-motion_1
Second Derivative Grapher
Visualize the relationship between the graph of a function and the graph of its second derivative.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/second-derivative-grapher

NASA - Maintaining Bone Mineral Density
In this activity students perform an appropriate test to determine the answer to the question "Is using the iRED exercise method significantly better than using the treadmill and bicycle in maintaining bone density?"https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--maintaining-bone-mineral-density
Can You Make My Graph?
Students are to find the equations of graphs of trigonometric functions (using sine and cosine) and will also identify values for the amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift. This activity is a modified version of the activity "What's the Equation?" originally made by Lauren Jensen.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/can-you-make-my-graph
Multiplicity of Zeros of Functions
Students will utilize graphs and equations of five polynomial functions to determine the zeros of the functions and whether the functions cross the x-axis at these zeros or just touch the x-axis at the zeros. Then students will determine the degree of the polynomial functions and the effect the d...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/multiplicity-of-zeros-of-functions
