Step by Step Differentiation - Calculus Made Easy
In Calculus, finding a derivative involves using chain, product, quotient or power rule depending on the function given. This activity will show you the correct rule and how it is applied step by step.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/step-by-step-differentiation
Tossing Coins
In this activity, students will use a simulation to find the experimental probability of independent events, tossing two coins. They will find the sample space and then compare the experimental and theoretical probabilities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tossing-coins
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
Nuclear Decay and Chain Reactions
Students determine the decay constant and half-life and begin to look at nuclear fission by simulating a chain reaction.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nuclear-decay-and-chain-reactions
