Students will find both the kinetic and potential energies as the cart rolls down the ramp. They will find the sum of the two energies, and show that this value is constant at all times.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conserving-energy
Bounce Back
In this activity, students will explore the rebound height of a ball and develop a function that will model the rebound heights for a particular bounce. The model can then be used to predict the height of the ball for any bounce.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bounce-back
Box It Up (A Graphical Look)
Students graph the relationship between the length of the sides of the cut-out squares and the volume of the resulting box. They trace the graph to decide the best square-size which can result in a box of maximum volume.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-it-up-a-graphical-look
