Work-Energy Theorem Applied to a Cart Pulled Down a Track
In this activity, students will analyze the relationship between the maximum speed of a cart pulled by a falling mass and the work done by gravity. Students will measure the speed of the cart, calculate the work in each trial, make a graph of speed vs. work, and determine an equation which will ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/workenergy-theorem-applied-to-a-cart-pulled-down-a-track
Simulation of the Photoelectric Effect for the TI-83+/TI-84+ Graphing Calculator
The simulation generates photoelectrons into a retarding potential difference. Students can adjust the retarding potential so that the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons can be found. With this information and the wavelength of the photon that generated the photoelectron, Planck's constant ca...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/simulation-of-the-photoelectric-effect-for-the-ti83ti84-graphing-calculator
Weaving a Story

Who Started it All?
Students look at the spread of disease and predict the model for that spread. Data is taken at the end of each "sharing" and the exponential model predicted is found to be faulty. The logistic model is then explore. Since we have the list of contacts and the data per contact we can trace it ba...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/who-started-it-all
Graphing Motion: Instantaneous and Average Speed (Follow up activity: Scalar and Vector Quantities)
Students are introduced to the calculator as a graphing tool and distinguish between average speed and instantaneous speed.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-motion-instantaneous-and-average-speed-follow-up-activity-scalar-and-vector-quantities
Blackbody Radiation
This program will produce the blackbody radiation curve for one or two objects when the student inputs the temperature(s) in kelvin. The program will also display on the curve the peak frequency and wavelength when one object is selected.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/blackbody-radiation
The 1 Cent Event
In this activity, students will collect data on a 1 cent coin as it falls under its own volition after being placed on its edge 25 times. They will report their data to the class and enter the data into their TI-84 Plus. They will examine the data from the collective and discuss patterns revealed...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-1-cent-event
Coast to Coast with Alice
Students learn to solve a real-world problem comparing automobile travel in the early 1900s and travel today. They follow the route taken by Alice in 1909 from New York City to San Francisco and determine how long the trip would take today.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/coast-to-coast-with-alice
Transmission Lines
Describes how to calculate the characteristic impedance and phase velocity on transmission lines. Steady state transmission line behavior and simple matching concepts are included also. The functions reflcoef(), lineleng(), zin(), yin() and vswr() are created.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transmission-lines
An Average Lunch?
Students explore the meaning of the average (mean) value for a set of data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/an-average-lunch
Exploring Hurricane Strength
In the activity, we explore multiple regression equations among Saffir-Simpson Scale, Pressure, Wind Speed, and Storm Surge of hurricanes. We relate our models to Hurricane Katrina, Gustav, and Ike.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-hurricane-strength
Fourier Series
Shows how to compute and graph the complex Fourier Series coefficients for a square wave.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fourier-series
Graphs and Fractions
Have students draw squares on graph paper and half some of the squares on the outside. Number all the squares and continue numbering with the halfs. Students are then instructed to create their own ratios such as: 4 halves to eight wholes of odd numbers etc. Encourage student's to be creative by ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphs-and-fractions
Fractions and Skittles
Students will predict how many of each color will be in one pack of skittles before they open the package. Once they open the package, they will determine how close their predictioins are to the actual amount. Students then will come up with ratios and averages.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fractions-and-skittles
Pizza Extravaganza
Students will conduct a survey of the class to determine favorite pizza toppings. They use this sample information to predict the preferred toppings for the school and use the TI-15 to help them with the calculations to plan a school-wide pizza party.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pizza-extravaganza
Homestead-Miami Chase Activity
In this activity, students will investigate whether it is better to take the shortest path or the fastest path.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/homesteadmiami-chase-activity
Number of Regions - An Introduction to the TI-Nspire CAS
