In this TI-Nspire family activity, students use the ratings made by five judges in a poster competition with the goal of deciding the top three posters based on the ratings made by the judges.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-judging-a-poster-contest
Putt Putt with Python
In this coding activity, students will create a golf game. The golf game gives the user two random points, one for the golf ball and one for the golf hole. The user will enter a value for the slope.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/putt-putt-with-python
Gettin' Trig-y with Python
In this Python coding activity, students will write a program that generates a random sine, cosine or tangent ratio. It will ask the user to enter a different trigonometric ratio based on the given triangle information. It will evaluate the user’s input.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/gettin-trigy-with-python
Parabolic Hoops
In this coding activity, students will create a virtual basketball court. Using the location of the hoop and the vertex, the shooter will calculate the amplitude needed to “Swish” nothing but net!https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parabolic-hoops
Fraction Tic Tac Toe
In this coding activity, students will create a fraction based, tic tac toe game using Python and mathematics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fraction-tic-tac-toe
Writing Chemical Formulas
In this lesson, students practice writing chemical formulas for ionic binary compounds.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/writing-chemical-formulas
Barometric Pressure - Simulated Data Analysis
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to collect data points through Hurricane Katrina, save the data in a spreadsheet and then analyze the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/barometric-pressure--simulated-data-analysis
Cell-ebrating Life
In this lesson, students will explore and learn about the major components of animal and plant cells.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cellebrating-life
Plane Mirrors
In this lesson, students will investigate the relationship between an object and its image in a plane mirror. Understanding how plane mirrors work provides a useful scaffold for understanding more complex situations, such as those involving concave and convex mirrors.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/plane-mirrors
Vector Components
In this lesson, students will first explore the relationship between the magnitude and direction of a vector and the components of the vector. Students will then explore how two vectors are added to produce a resultant vector.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vector-components
Recombinant DNA
In this lesson, students complete the steps required to clone a single gene and express it in a model organism.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/recombinant-dna
You Are What You Eat
Students are introduced to modeling linear data through an investigation of comparing grams of fat and calories in fast food hamburgers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/you-are-what-you-eat
Vernier - Graphing Your Motion
In this activity, students use a Vernier Motion Detector to measure distance and velocity. Students prepare graphs of motion and analyze them. They compare and match graphs of distance versus time and velocity versus time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--graphing-your-motion
Vernier - A Good Cold Pack
Students use the EasyTemp temperature probe to determine temperature changes as different solid substances dissolve in water.
