Science TODAY™ - Hurricane Damage
Students will construct a graph and a regression model which shows the relationship between wind speed and the force of the wind. The students will then analyze the math model that fits the data to make predictions from the model.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/science-today--hurricane-damage
Add Them Up
Students explore the total voltage provided by several batteries in a series to a battery-operated device. They graph scatter plots, understand multiplication as repeated addition, and use a pattern to develop a formula. They learn how to develop a formula from a pattern of increasing voltage and...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/add-them-up
Projectile Motion Simulation
Students can investigate the effects of changing various initial quantities on the motion of a projectile. The simulation allows for firing a projectile over or up onto a cliff or over level ground. The results are displayed both graphically and mathematically.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/projectile-motion-simulation
Shape Up!
In this activity, students will use the motion detector to record motion, and observe how the direction of movement, speed of travel, and the rate of change of direction and speed affect the shape of a Distance-Time plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shape-up
Motion Graphs
Students will be able to explore distance/time graphs and velocity/time graphs. The graphs will be presented to the entire class through TI-Navigator™. Students will then take CBL 2™'s and calculators and create their own graphs (which are assigned to them). Students will then come back and pr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/motion-graphs
Motion Pretest
Students will assess their prior knowledge about motion.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/motion-pretest
Solar Cookers and Easy Data
Students use a TI-84, Easy Temp and Easy Data to measure the quality of their solar cookers. Hot dogs are heated under the May sunshine after students design, build and test their own solar cookers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solar-cookers-and-easy-data
Introduction to Electric Circuits
This activity will show how to properly connect wires to make a closed electric circuit. Included in this will be how to connect batteries in series and/or in parallel, and how to properly measure potential drops across a resistor and current for electron current and conventional current circui...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introduction-to-electric-circuits
Subnivean Comfort
Students measure and compare air temperatures inside and outside a snow shelter. If students choose to sleep in the shelter overnight they use the temperature measurements to confirm what they discover experientially- that snow is a great insulator!https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/subnivean-comfort
Which Way?
Students' use a motion detector to examine how different types of motion affect the shape of the Distance versus Time plot. They explore how changes in direction and other factors affect the shape of the plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/which-way
Vernier - The Magnetic Field in a Slinky
Students use a Magnetic Field Sensor to measure the magnetic field and the current in a solenoid. They explore factors that affect the magnetic field, study how the field varies in parts of the solenoid, and determine the permeability constant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--the-magnetic-field-in-a-slinky
Power Engineering
Shows how to handle phasor algebra, complex power, power factor corrections, and unbalanced three-phase calculations using the TI-89.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/power-engineering
Steady-State Circuit Analysis and Filter Design
Shows how the TI-89 implements phasors to perform sinusoidal steady-state analysis. the focus in on how to enter and display complex numbers. This chapter also shows a typical steady-state application - how to use the Numeric Solver to find the required order of lowpass Butterworth and Chebyshe...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/steadystate-circuit-analysis-and-filter-design
Vernier - Friction
Students study how the nature of two materials in contact, and the smoothness of their surfaces affect the magnitude of the sliding force of friction. They use a force sensor to measure frictional force for different surfaces.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--friction
"Power"ful Patterns
Students investigate the relationship between multiplication with repeated factors and the use of exponents. Students will connect "powers of ten" to place value positions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/powerful-patterns
Related Procedures
Students will use the two constant operations to compare the results of different mathematical procedures and determine how they are related.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/related-procedures

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Democracy" - I Never Metadata I Didn't Like
In "Democracy", Charlie investigates the death of a friend. He finds columns of numbers on her computer, and because they are not labeled, he does not know what they mean.
