Discrimination of Parabolas
Students manipulate progressively more flexible parabolas whilst a ‘special number’ is displayed on the screen. The problem for students to solve is ‘what is so special about this number’. Students continually review their conjectures as the parabola becomes more and more flexible.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discrimination-of-parabolas
Resolving Vectors
Students observe the relationship between a vector and its x- and y-components.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/resolving-vectors

In this lesson, students will simulate radioactive dating at an archeological site.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/radioactive-dating-game-hs
Skills of Science - Creating Lab Reports
In this lesson, students see how to use PublishViewTM to create lab reports using the TI-Nspire computer software.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/skills-of-science--creating-lab-reports
Sound Intensity
Students investigate the relationship between sound intensity and distance for a commercial loudspeaker. They use collected data to identify a mathematical model for the relationship. They then compare this model with the inverse square law for an ideal point source.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sound-intensity
