Forensics with TI-Nspire™ - Case File: Bouncing Back
In this activity, students will be using the motion sensor as a sonar detector, through air to locate and identify a missing object in a box.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-with-tinspiresuptmsup--case-2-bouncing-back
Forensics with TI-Nspire™ - Case File: Name That Tune
In this activity, students will analyze sound waves to calculate the frequency, or pitch, of musical notes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-with-tinspiresuptmsup--case-3-name-that-tune
Electromagnetism
Students use an animated diagram of a magnetic field and a coil. Students rotate the coil and determine the number of magnetic field lines passing through the coil at a given angle. Students graph the relationship and then consider the rate of change of the magnetic field.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electromagnetism
Electromagnets
In this activity, students will create a solenoid-type electromagnet using two different methods of coiling the wire around the core. They will use a sensor to determine the relationship between the number of turns of wire and the magnetic field strength for each method.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electromagnets
Forensics with TI-Nspire™ - Case File: Life in the Fast Lane
In this activity, students will investigate the coefficient of friction and use it to determine the speed of a vehicle from the distance of its skid.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-with-ti@nspire-@-case-13-life-in-the-fast-lane
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
Entropy
In this activity, students will investigate entropy from the point of view of microstates, macrostates, and probability. The goal of the activity is to help students better understand the relationship between probability and entropy. Students will learn that, in the case of the second law of ther...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/entropy
Forensics with TI-Nspire™ - Case File: Hit and Run
In this activity, students will learn displacement, velocity, and acceleration are related quantities. Students will explore how patterns in one measurement can be used to predict patterns in the others.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-with-ti-nspire--case-file--hit-and-run
Classification Assessment
This TI-Nspire question set (.tns) has assessment questions relating to Life Science: Classification.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/classification-assess_mg
First Law of Thermodynamics
In this activity, students explore the first law of thermodynamics and apply it to various thermodynamics processes in order to calculate heat, work, and changes in internal energy of a very simple system: an ideal gas enclosed in a container fitted with a movable piston.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/first-law-of-thermodynamics
