Exploring Exponents
Students will investigate and describe negative and zero exponents on the base. Then, students will apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-exponents
Modeling Virus Spread
In this TI-Nspire activity, students will explore a simple introduction to the idea of logistic growth through an easily acted out simulation: spread of a virus through a population.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-virus-spread
Modeling QB Passing Rates
This activity uses the measures commonly collected for football quarterbacks and provides an opportunity for students to create their own quarterback rating models.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-qb-passing-rates
100 or Bust
Students explore the operations of addition and subtraction. They use estimation, a place value chart, and a calculator to place seven randomly generated numbers in the ones and tens position in a place-value chart to make a sum as close to 100 as possible.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/100-or-bust
Patterns in Division
Students investigate how the quotients and remainders from integer division relate to the quotients from rational number division in both fraction and decimal form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/patterns-in-division
Symmetry with Pattern Blocks
Students learn to use pattern blocks to build a design that has a line of symmetry. They use the calculator to determine the value of half the design. They predict and then find the value of the entire design.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/symmetry-with-pattern-blocks
CONSTANT-ly
Students investigate a pattern using the constant function on the calculator, record the results displayed on the calculator, and describe how the constant key works.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constantly
Double Number Lines
This activity allows students to reason about ratio tables, which helps their understanding of what a ratio describes in a context and what quantities in equivalent ratios have in common.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/double-number-lines
Making Multiples
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to explore asexual and sexual reproduction.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-multiples
Make Sense of This
In this lesson, students will explore stimuli and the sensory receptors that detect them.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/make-sense-of-this
The Core
In this lesson, students will analyze fossil characteristics and similarities between organisms to determine relative dating of fossils.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-core
Lynx and Snowshoe Hare Cycle
In this lesson, students will analyze a predator/prey graph that represents the population cycling of the lynx and the snowshoe hare.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lynx-and-snowshoe-hare-cycle
Classification Challenge
In this lesson, students will analyze and describe how organisms are classified according to shared characteristics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/classification-challenge
Heart and Lungs - The Beat Goes On
In this lesson, students will study the effect of exercise on heart rate, respiratory rate, and airflow in and out of the lungs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/heart-and-lungs--the-beat-goes-on
Eating and Exercise (MG)
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to observe and manipulate the factors that affect weight over time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/eating-and-exercise-mg
Sound Waves
In this activity, students will explore animation of a sound wave in air.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sound-waves
Newton and THE Law
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to explore elastic collisions and Newton’s second and third laws.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/newton-and-the-law
Circuit Construction Kit (MG)
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to observe and manipulate an electric current, voltage and resistance.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circuit-construction-kit-mg
Chemical Reactions
In this lesson, students will explore chemical reactions and their products and balance chemical equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chemical-reactions
Exploring Energy Transfer
In this lesson, students will explore thermal energy transfer and the relationship between heat, mass, specific heat, and temperature change in a system.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-energy-transfer
Vernier - Heart Rate and Physical Fitness
In this lesson, students will use the heart rate monitor to analyze heart rates in different situations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--heart-rate-and-physical-fitness
Newton's Second Law
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to explore the acceleration of a frictionless cart being pulled by a steady force.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/newtons-second-law
