Welcome to TI Physics.
The tools to help your students succeed.
Introducing the TI-Nspire CAS learning handheld and computer software TI-Nspire CAS (Computer Algebra System) technology is designed to support your instruction and curriculum. Realize the power of visual learning when it is applied to symbolic mathematics. TI-Nspire CAS technology adds a new interactive dimension, so your students are able to use educational technology to explore symbolic answers and the multiple representations of different problems.
- Perform symbolic algebra and symbolic calculus on a user-friendly interface.
- Experience spreadsheet capabilities similar to using Microsoft Excel® software.
- Show students the cause-and-effect nature of changes in real-time, on one screen.
- Help students input the proper exponents for exploring physics problems.

Nuclear Binding Energy
Posted on 05/12/2009
- Topic: Nuclear Binding Energy
- Activity Overview:
- The activity begins with animations of alpha, beta, and gamma emissions. In studying the animations, students discover properties of the emitted particles. The next part of the activity has students make graphs of the counts of a Geiger counter vs. time for the decay of a short-lived nucleus, Po-218. They determine the decay constant and half-life. The final part of the activity looks at nuclear fission and simulates a chain reaction.
