Forensics Case 7 - Drug Tests: Identifying an unknown chemical
In this activity, students distinguish between physical and chemical properties. They also understand the differences between qualitative and quantitative observations. They use quantitative and qualitative analyses to identify an unknown powder.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-7--drug-tests-identifying-an-unknown-chemical
Vernier - How Low Can You Go?
In this activity, students will use an EasyTemp temperature probe to determine the normal melting temperature of ice. They will then study how the addition of salt to the melting ice affects its melting temperature. They will finally formulate a procedure for reaching the coldest melting temperat...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--how-low-can-you-go
I'm Melting, I'm Melting
Students will use the Vernier EasyTemp© temperature sensor to determine the change in thermal energy for a given mass of ice, the heat of fusion of ice, and percent error.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/im-melting-im-melting
NASA - Weightless Wonder
In this activity, students explore quadratic functions through the real-world example of weightless flight and the gravitational pull of the earth on objects in orbit.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--weightless-wonder
Forensics Case 6 - Measuring Momentum: Using distance moved after impact to estimate velocity
This activity introduces the concept of momentum as it applies to vehicle collisions. Students accurately gather data of collision of a vehicle with a stationary object, and establish a relationship between the distance an object moves after a collision with a vehicle and the momentum of the vehi...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-6--measuring-momentum-using-distance-moved-after-impact-to-estimate-velocity
Forensics Case 12 - Hit and Run: Using information from an event data recorder to reconstruct an ac
Students learn how distance traveled, velocity, and acceleration are related to one another and how the appearance of an acceleration, velocity, or distance vs. time graph can be used to predict the appearance of the other graphs. They show how accident scenes can be recreated through an analysis...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-12--hit-and-run-using-information-from-an-event-data-recorder-to-reconstruct-an-ac
Get on the Stick (Biology Applications)
Students use a motion detector to the measure the reaction time of other students. They graph the data from trials conducted in the class and analyze trends. They then calculate drop distance from reaction time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/get-on-the-stick-biology-applications
