What Does a Buffer Do?
Buffers are solutions that resist a change in pH. In this activity, students will add HCl dropwise to a measured amount of water, monitoring the pH. Students then repeat the process, using a simple buffer prepared by combining baking soda and tonic water. A comparison of the results will allow...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-does-a-buffer-do
Titration Experiment
This activity is a fast and safe microscale experiment which allows students to quickly determine the molariy of three weak acids (vinegar, soda, and citric acid). Since the process involves a monoprotic, diprotic, and a triprotic acid, students recieve good exposure to the stoichiometry involve...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/titration-experiment
Designing a Reaction Rate Experiment
In this activity, students will design, conduct, and report the outcome of an experiment in which they investigate some factor that affects the rate of reaction between baking soda and vinegar. The dynamic nature of the reaction, coupled with a wide range of possible choices of independent varia...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/designing-a-reaction-rate-experiment
Absorption and Radiation
Different surfaces absorb and radiate radiation at different rates. In this activity you will analyze the absorption and radiation rates of two surfaces by monitoring the temperature changes of each of them.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/absorption-and-radiation
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
Heat Transfer by Conduction
The purpose of this activity is to monitor the transfer of heat between 2 materials by measuring the temperature changes in them.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/heat-transfer-by-conduction
Millikan Oil Drop Experiment Simulation
Students run a simulation on the TI-83+ or TI-84+ graphing calculator to perform a variation of the Millikan Oil Drop Experiment.
