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. They then develop and test a plan for making the best cold pack using three grams of one of the substances. EasyData™ is needed for this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--a-good-cold-pack
Vernier - Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions
Students will observe two chemical reactions. They will use an EasyTemp probe to determine the change in temperature and identify endothermic and exothermic reactions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--endothermic-and-exothermic-reactions
Vernier - Falling Objects
In this activity, students will use a Motion Detector to measure distance and velocity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--falling-objects
Vernier - Picket Fence Free Fall
In this activity, students will measure the acceleration of a freely falling body (g) to better than 0.5% precision with the help of a Picket Fence and a Photogate.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--picket-fence-free-fall
Stacking Bricks
This activity presents a real-world situation--stacking bricks in a pile--that can be modeled by a polynomial function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stacking-bricks_1
Stacking Bricks - 84
This activity presents a real-world situation--stacking bricks in a pile--that can be modeled by a polynomial function. Students create a small table to show how the number of bricks relates to the number of rows, and calculate the first, second, and third differences of the data. Next they use t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stacking-bricks
Matholutions Activity
This simple activity is a great way to empower students to reflect and set their own goals for the math classroom. Use as a conversation starter with your students to reflect upon their desired goals, why they chose their goals and how they plan to achieve them. What additional prompts will you t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/matholutions-activity
Reflections over the Axes
It is important for students to know what happens to the coordinates of points when they are reflected over the x-axis or the y-axis. This activity enables students to use Cabri Jr. to develop this understanding.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reflections-over-the-axes
Pyramid Height Exploration
This activity center is used to illustrate the difference between the slant height and the actual perpendicular height (of the given square pyramid) by the use of the distance formula.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pyramid-height-exploration
Parallel Lines cut by a Transversal with Cabri Jr.
Using Cabri Jr, the students (with the teachers help) will create parallel lines cut by a transversal, measure angles, and compare the relationships of the angles formed using features of the Cabri Jr.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines-cut-by-a-transversal-with-cabri-jr
Normal Distribution
Collecting Data paper, pencil and a coin A quiz has 6 true false questions. You do not get to see the quedstions, but instead will flip a coin for each of your answers.
