    3-017-StackedCoffeeFiltersFalling-ModelingScenario
    Data on free falling 2, 4, 6, and 8 stacked coffee filters is offered. Students form a model using a resistance term proportional to velocity, velocity squared, or velocity to some general power. Parameters need to be estimated and models compared.
