NASA - Space Shuttle Ascent: Mass vs. Time
In this activity, students explore the ascent phase which begins at liftoff and ends when the space shuttle reaches Earth's orbit. The space shuttle must accelerate from zero to approximately 7,850 meters per second (which is approximately 17,500 miles per hour) in eight and a half minutes to re...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--space-shuttle-ascent-mass-vs--time
Forensics Case 12 - Hit and Run: Using information from an event data recorder to reconstruct an ac

The Pythagorean Theorem—and More
Students construct a triangle and find all angle and side measures. They practice dragging the vertices to form certain types of triangles, and then they confirm the Pythagorean Theorem for right triangles. Moreover, they discover the types of triangle that occur when c2 a2 + b2 or when c2 > a2 +...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-pythagorean-theoremand-more
Supertall Skyscrapers
In this activity, students use their handhelds to measure scale drawings of famous “supertall” skyscrapers.
