    6-050-BowlingBallPath-ModelingScenario
    This modeling scenario examines the motion of a bowling ball with the goal of understanding how various aspects of the release affect ball placement and the entry angle to the pocket, each an important factor in the frequency of strikes.

    1-131-CaffeineElimination-ModelingScenario
    We model the concentration of caffeine eliminated from the human body at a rate proportional to the concentration. This is a ``first-order reaction'' in the language of pharmacokinetics -- the study of how drugs move in the body.

    5-026-Evictions-ModelingScenario
    In this project, students develop two SIS models to study eviction trends in a population of non-homeowner households using an actual eviction rate. Students can calculate solutions, sketch the phase portrait, and determine long-term trends .

    6-022-CannibalismPredatorPrey-ModelingScenario
    The Lotka-Volterra model tells us that the prey and predator exhibit a shifted cyclic behavior over time. In this module, we look at modifying this prey-predator model to consider the case when there is cannibalism in the predator species.

    We examine the spring-mass-dashpot that is part of a car suspension, how the ride is related to parameter values, and the effect of changing the angle of installation. We model a ``quarter car'', meaning a single wheel.
