The preconstructed templates used in this activity include charged particles and forces of interactions be...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forces-on-point-charges
Hit the Target
In this lesson, students will explore the range of a marble that rolls down a ramp and off a table. The goal is for students to develop a mathematical model that will allow them to hit a target placed on the floor on the first try.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hit-the-target
Energy of Free Oscillations
Students explore energy transformation and energy conservation in simulated spring-mass oscillations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/energy-of-free-oscillations
First Law of Thermodynamics
In this activity, students explore the first law of thermodynamics and apply it to various thermodynamics processes in order to calculate heat, work, and changes in internal energy of a very simple system: an ideal gas enclosed in a container fitted with a movable piston.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/first-law-of-thermodynamics
Vernier - Energy in Food
