    1-005-OilSlick-ModelingScenario
    We describe a modeling activity with difference and differential equations which enlightens students on the model building process and parameter estimation for a linear, first-order, non-homogeneous, ordinary differential equation.

    1-031-CoolIt-ModelingScenario
    We offer data on the temperature of water in a beaker in a room of constant temperature and in a room of nonconstant temperature. Students consider both empirical and analytic modeling approaches. We offer additional data sets in Excel...

    1-015-Torricelli-ModelingScenario
    We help students develop a model (Torricelli's Law) for the height of a falling column of water with a small hole in the container at the bottom of the column of water through which water exits the column.

    5-001-LSD-ModelingScenario
    We describe the use of a two compartment model of a linear system of first order linear differential equations to model lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in the body. We provide the data from the literature.

    1-007-AntTunnelBuilding-ModelingScenario
    We pose the prospect of modeling just how long an ant takes to build a tunnel. With a bit of guidance students produce a model for the time it takes to build a tunnel of length x into the side of a damp sandy hill.

    6-019-EnablingEpidemicExploration-ModelingScenario
    We became aware of several interesting possibilities for a modeling opportunity with data and we invited you to explore the several routes to parameter estimation in a SIR model with respect to the data offered.

    1-001-MM-DeathAndImmigration-ModelingScenario
    We conduct a simulation of death and immigration, using a small set of "individuals", m&m candies or any two sided object (coin, chips), in which upon tossing a set of individuals we cause some to die and others then to immigrate. Modeling ensues!
