TI-CBL interfacing
Using Graphing Calculators
TI Graphing Calculators can be used in countless
ways in mathematics. Our main interest here is their use in biology
when interfaced to probeware for data analysis. Users should become
familiar with the following capabilities:
- Entering data on lists
- Manipulating data
- Graphing data
- Making a best fit line
- Determining the slope
- Interpolating and extrapolating
Rather than provide you with a lists of keystrokes
to perform the functions mentioned above, we would like to walk
you through a brief activity which demonstrates all of the above
functions. You may want to introduce the Graphing Calculator to
your students with this activity. Keep in mind, the real beauty
of the Graphing Calculator is appreciated when it is interfaced
to a probe or sensor. We will provide some sample
investigations in the Applications in the classroom
section, but for now, enter the following
sample investigation
and have a nice trip…
