Replacement reaction demo for AP chemistry class. CO2(s) + Mg(s) -> C(s) + MgO(s) and lots of fog, light and sparks!
Student STEM project for 2015 science fair. Txt msg is sent between computers via 1/2 duplex - 2 way laser link.
Remember the M in STEM? Perhaps it's for data Modeling? Sign up for Science Nspired PD webinar tinyurl.com/naz2npy
At ~22/7 class at Central Market. This is a STEM project that you can eat!

Learning about the great curriculum available free on the TI Science Nspired web site at the 2014 CAST conference.
Chaos in the classroom! Students LUA a nonlinear dynamical system. Xn+1=r*Xn*(1-Xn) iterated 200 times for each r.
AP chemistry students investigate Boyle's law and model data using Nspire CX, pressure sensor and Nspire Navigator.
Soda water maker, Go Wireless Temp, Nspire for iPad used for demo of 1st law of thermodynamics from expansion of CO2
STEM students use laser cutter and ferric chloride to make PCB and 3D printer for case to build conductivity tester.
STEM students study Monte Carlo approximation of Pi algorithm and write the program in LUA on Nspire student edition.
