Students will use a CBR 2™ motion detector to determine their speed or velocity going down a playground slide. They will also experiment with different ways to increase their speed going down the slide.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--a-speedy-slide-with-easydata-app-and-cbr-2
Vernier - Air Resistance
Students use the Vernier Motion Detector to measure the effect of air resistance on falling objects. They determine how air resistance and mass affect the terminal velocity of a falling object and then choose a force model that fits the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--air-resistance_1
Vernier - Falling Objects
In this activity, students will use a Motion Detector to measure distance and velocity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--falling-objects
Vernier - Picket Fence Free Fall
In this activity, students will measure the acceleration of a freely falling body (g) to better than 0.5% precision with the help of a Picket Fence and a Photogate.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--picket-fence-free-fall
Stacking Bricks
This activity presents a real-world situation--stacking bricks in a pile--that can be modeled by a polynomial function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stacking-bricks_1
Trigonometric Transformations
Students will use a slider to animate the graphing of a function of time that models the height of a capsule on the London Eye observation wheel as the wheel turns. Students will discover the concepts of amplitude, frequency, period, and midline. Students will create an appropriate equation to mo...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-transformations
Pyramid Height Exploration
This activity center is used to illustrate the difference between the slant height and the actual perpendicular height (of the given square pyramid) by the use of the distance formula.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pyramid-height-exploration
Special Segments in Triangles
Students will construct and explore medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors of triangles. They then drag the vertices to see where the intersections of the segments lie in relation to the triangle, and they measure distances to identify relationships.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/special-segments-in-triangles_2
Estimating a Population Proportion
Students find the confidence interval for a population proportion by first finding the critical value and the margin of error.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-a-population-proportion
Goodness-Of-Fit
Students test claims of whether given distributions "fit" theoretical distributions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/goodnessoffit
Population Mean: σ unknown
Students calculate confidence intervals to estimate the true population mean when the standard deviation of the population is not known.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/population-mean--σ-unknown
SSS Triangle Congruence
Students will: 1. Construct a triangle and measure its sides and angles. 2. Construct a second triangle with corresponding sides equal in length. 3. Try to alter the properties of their construction by moving the vertices.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sss-triangle-congruence
What is a linear pair?
