Over 30 equations which define quantities which server as measurable parameters of an object's elasticity are given. Some equations are derived and the derivations are explained. Highly technical!
Shodor Education Foundation
Shodor Interactivate: Interactive: Scatter Plot
Use this interactive applet to input a series of (x, y) ordered pairs and plot them. Parameters such as minimum and maximum value, minimum and maximum y value, and x- and y-scale can be set by the user or determined by the applet.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Swinging Along
Students model the data from the motion of a pendulum by a periodic function. They relate its parameters to the time for one period, the distance it is pulled back, and its distance from the motion detector.

Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: Changing Sines
Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduced students to the various parameters used in graphing the elementary sine function. Technology use is very heavy, as students are encouraged to graph different sinusoidal...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Transformation Graphing App
This App helps students improve graphing comprehension. They input functions, view visual diagrams of functions, and observe changes in the function as the parameters change.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Wrapping It All Up
Students recognize the effects of changes in parameters on the graphs of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Statistics Terms
This set contains statistics questions pertaining to the basic terms and definitions of statistics. The student distinguishes a population from a sample, a parameter from a statistic, and inferential from descriptive statistics.

Texas Instruments: Investigating Equations of Lines
In this activity, students explore the equations of lines written in the form: y = mx + b. They move points defining the lines, and view the related changes in the parameters of the equations.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: The Bouncing Ball
In this activity, students will graph the height of a ball versus time after it is dropped from some height. They will then examine one ball bounce and investigate the parameters that effect the shape of the graph. They will also explore...
