Nuclear Binding Energy
Students explore the energy that results from the strong force in nuclei. The activity begins with the unexpected result that the mass of a nucleus is less than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In Part 2 of the activity, students analyze a graph to determine the r...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nuclear-binding-energy
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
Graphs of Antiderivatives
Students use their TI-Nspire to graph the anti-derivative of a function and investigate aspects of the this function and how it relates to the primitive function. For example, if a continuous derivative function changes from negative to positive, what does this produce on the primi...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphs-of-antiderivatives
Bending Light
In this activity, students explore the refraction of a single light ray. They begin by exploring light traveling from a less dense medium into a denser medium. They use a numerical approach to establish a relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction. Then, students expl...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bending-light
A Little Light Work
Students will study graphs of light intensity at various distances from a light sensor. They will use power and linear regressions to determine the relationship between light intensity and distance from the light source. They will also develop their own models for the relationship.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/a-little-light-work
Focusing on Light
In this activity, students explore the reflection of light by parabolic and semicircular mirrors. They begin by exploring reflection using a series of flat mirrors that are attached to one another to create a flexible mirror that can simulate a curved mirror. Students then explore reflection by a...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/focusing-on-light
Punnett Square
In this activity students will explore the rules of Mendelian Genetics using a single trait, height, in pea plants. A monohybrid cross using a simple Punnett Square is performed. Students can randomize their parental generation using the reset button so they can explore all facets of dominant and...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/punnett-square
Vernier - Heart Rate and Exercise

Skills of Science - Celsius to Fahrenheit
In this lesson, students gathering temperature data simultaneously with two probes -- one measuring Fahrenheit and the other Celsius.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/skills-of-science--celsius-to-fahrenheit
Like Moths Around a Flame
In this lesson, students examine data about moths and draw conclusions of how the environment impacts their populations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/like-moths-around-a-flame
Award Winning Data
Arguably the most famous awards in the world, but are the Academy Awards® ageist and sexist? The mean age of female winners is 36 compared with males at 44, but Jessica Tandy (Driving Miss Daisy) won an award at age 81, the oldest award recipient. Katherine Hepburn won an award at age 74. Wha...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/academy-awards
The River of Life
In this lesson, students will calculate the volume of blood in their own bodies based on a linear regression.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-river-of-life
Fill the Vase
Students interpret graphs of empirical data with respect to rate of change of the height of water in vases of different shapes that are being filled at a constant rate. Students are provided with a range of graphs and vases. For each graph they must reshape the vase in order to match the volume –...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fill-the-vase
Forensics with TI-Nspire™ - Case File: Tracks of a Killer
In this activity, students will analyze the relationship between shoe size, stride length, and height, and then use that information to identify the killer.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-with-tinspiresuptmsup--case-1-tracks-of-a-killer
Can You Take The Pressure?
Students will use the Vernier EasyLink© and the Gas Pressure Sensor to determine the volume of a gas in a container under different pressures. They will also graph the pressure/volume data and interpret their graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/can-you-take-the-pressure
World Population - 84
In this TI-84 activity, students use their graphing calculator to explore world population data from the years 1950-2023. They will develop various equations to model the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/world-population
