What's in a Line?
This lesson involves identifying linear functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-in-a-line
Does a Correlation Exist?
In this activity, students will determine, by examining a graph, if a data set has a positive or negative correlation coefficient. Then, they will find the linear regression equation and calculate the correlation coefficient. They will use this line to predict the value of y for a given x and vic...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/does-a-correlation-exist
Light and Waves
Students explore the interference patterns of waves formed by two point sources. Students are able to collect data and draw conclusions about the nodal lines formed by the interference.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/light-and-waves
Mechanical Advantage
In this lesson, students will explore the relationship between resistance force and effort force for the inclined plane and the lever.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mechanical-advantage
Two-Dimensional Collisions
Students observe animations of two-dimensional elastic collisions of spheres and then calculate linear momenta and kinetic energies.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/twodimensional-collisions
A Little Light Work
Students will study graphs of light intensity at various distances from a light sensor. They will use power and linear regressions to determine the relationship between light intensity and distance from the light source. They will also develop their own models for the relationship.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/a-little-light-work
Forces on an Inclined Plane
In this lesson, students will collect data on the magnitude of the force acting on an object resting on an inclined plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forces-on-an-inclined-plane
Electromagnetism
Students use an animated diagram of a magnetic field and a coil. Students rotate the coil and determine the number of magnetic field lines passing through the coil at a given angle. Students graph the relationship and then consider the rate of change of the magnetic field.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electromagnetism
Gradient of a function
This activity introduces the notion of the gradient of a curve. Initial exploration involves a dynamic tangent where students can use prior knowledge of the gradient of a straight line to determine if the slope is negative, zero or positive. The second stage of the activity goes one step further ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/gradient-of-a-function
The River of Life
In this lesson, students will calculate the volume of blood in their own bodies based on a linear regression.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-river-of-life
Friction and Inclined Planes
Students explore the relationship between mass, coefficient of friction, and motion down an inclined plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/friction-and-inclined-planes

Forensics Case 9 - Killer Cup of Coffee: Using colorimetry to determine concentration of a poison
In this activity, students will use colorimetry to determine the concentration of a colored species in a solution and use a linear relationship to model Beer's law. They use Beer's law to determine the concentration of iron(III)thiocyanate (FeSCN2+) in an unknown solution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-9--killer-cup-of-coffee-using-colorimetry-to-determine-concentration-of-a-poison
Exponential Reflections
In this activity, you will investigate the inverse of an exponential function. You will also investigate the symmetry of the exponential function and its inverse.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponential-reflections_1
The sum of the interior angles of regular polygons
The students will construct triangles within regular-sided polygons to determine the sum of the interior angles. They will then, using statistics, create a linear regression to determine the relationship between the number of sides of a regular polygon and the sum of its interior angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-sum-of-the-interior-angles-of-regular-polygons
Transformational Puppet
This activity allows students to practice their skills of reflecting on a line and translating on a vector. The instructions don't ask for creativity but students who finish early can enjoy being creative with this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformational-puppet
