Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse with TI-Nspire™ Technology

	Day One of Two-Day Workshop	Focus Areas
1.	Welcome / Introduction (morning, 30min) Warm-up Housekeeping & Introductions Essential Questions: How do you know (detect) it's a zombie?	Workshop Objectives
2.	Zombie Apocalypse Simulation (morning, 60 minutes) Participants will work through the STEM Behind Hollywood simulation to increase their comfort level with the TI-Nspire™ CX handheld.	Biology: The Human Body Statistics: Describing Bivariate Data
3.	Zombies: Are You a Cool Zombie? (morning, 30 minutes) Participants will use an EasyTemp® sensor to evaluate the temperature of a zombie.	Technology: Sensor-Based Data Collection & Analysis
4.	Zombie Outbreak (morning, 60 minutes) Hands-on simulation of the spread of disease will be investigated through chemical means. Participants then do a calculator simulation to see the rate at which a virus can spread through a population.	Technology: Mathematical Modeling
5.	Walk Like a Zombie (afternoon, 75 minutes) Participants will use a CBR 2™ motion sensor to compare and contrast living and undead gaits to determine signature shambles of the undead.	Physics: Forces & Motion Algebra 1: Linear Functions
6.	Zombies Losing Their Gip (afternoon, 75 minutes) The use of a gas pressure sensor and plastic bottle will be used to evaluate normal human grip strength and muscle fatigue in order to identify zombies using grip strength.	Biology: The Human Body
7.	Teacher Presentations (30 minutes) Groups of participants will answer the Essential Question through short presentations to answer, “How do you detect a zombie outbreak?”	Presentations
8.	Debrief (30 minutes)	Reflection
