    1-011-Kinetics-ModelingScenario
    We make the connection between chemistry course and differential equations coursework. We do this through modeling kinetics, or rates of chemical reaction. We study zeroth, first, and second order reactions.

    1-011A-Kinetics-ModelingScenario
    We help students see the connection between college level chemistry course work and their differential equations coursework. We do this through modeling kinetics, or rates of chemical reaction.

    1-005B-ChemDataCollection-ModelingScenario
    A chemistry graduate student is collecting data on a chemical reaction and does a poor job of collecting the data. Indeed, he only collects the data at the start and end of a number of three minute intervals and does not note the times.

    1-005A-ChemDataCollection-ModelingScenario
    A student is assigned the task of collecting data on a chemical reaction and does a poor job of collecting data. She only collects data at the start and end of a number of ten minute intervals and does not keep track of when the observations are...

    1-093-SucroseReaction-ModelingScenario
    We offer data on the hydrolysis of sucrose in the presence of catalyst sucrase. We present students with several models and ask which model is best. We ask students to estimate parameters for the best model.

    7-040-TankInterruptMixing-ModelingScenario
    We present a first order differential equation model for the interrupted mixing of a tank with salt water. We offer two solution strategies (1) two step approach and (2) Laplace Transforms.

    1-042-KoolAid-ModelingScenario
    Students run experiments involving concentrated solution of drink powder flowing from upper to lower tank, initially filled with plain water. They make qualitative observations about the intensity of the color in the tanks, record data, and build...

    5-012-LipoproteinModeling-ModelingScenario
    Data from a study on the amounts of low-density-lipoprotein (LDL), form of cholesterol, in blood plasma is presented. Students build, validate, and use a compartment model of the kinetic exchange of the LDL between body tissue and blood plasma.

    5-030-AirshedSulphur-ModelingScenario
    Temperature inversions and low wind speeds trap air pollutants in a mountain valley for a period of time. Gaseous sulfur compounds are a significant air pollution problem. We offer a model for analysis to predict long-term levels of levels of...

    1-132-DigoxinElimination-ModelingScenario
    We model the concentration of digoxin 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.

    5-010-DNADegradation-ModelingScenario
    We ask students to use the system of first order linear differential equations given in a source paper and estimates of the data from laboratory procedures from a plot to estimate the parameters and complete the modeling process.

    5-020-ParacetamolAbsorption-ModelingScenario
    We offer drug absorption data on paracetamol, an analgesic pain reliever, for two different sets of patients, vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Students build a two compartment model for plasma and non-plasma (tissue) compartments of human patients.
