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

Forensics Case 7 - Drug Tests: Identifying an unknown chemical
In this activity, students distinguish between physical and chemical properties. They also understand the differences between qualitative and quantitative observations. They use quantitative and qualitative analyses to identify an unknown powder.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-7--drug-tests-identifying-an-unknown-chemical
Vernier - How Low Can You Go?
In this activity, students will use an EasyTemp temperature probe to determine the normal melting temperature of ice. They will then study how the addition of salt to the melting ice affects its melting temperature. They will finally formulate a procedure for reaching the coldest melting temperat...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--how-low-can-you-go
Forensics Case 11 - Ashes to Ashes: Using evaporation rate to identify an unknown liquid
In this activity, students understand that evaporation rate is a characteristic property of a liquid. Based on this fact, they identify the solution and the likely accelerant in a case of arson. They compare the evaporation rates of the accelerants found with the suspects with those near the crim...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-11--ashes-to-ashes-using-evaporation-rate-to-identify-an-unknown-liquid
Forensics Case 5 - The Ink Is Still Wet: Using colorimetry to identify an unknown ink
In this activity, students identify the ink of a ransom note to match suspects. They identify an unknown ink by its light absorbance characteristics. The experiment set up used is to measure a solutions absorbance of different colors (wavelengths) of light.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-5--the-ink-is-still-wet-using-colorimetry-to-identify-an-unknown-ink
Forensics Case 3 - Name That Tune: Matching musical tones through waveform analysis
