    3-013-WhiffleBallFall-ModelingScenario
    We are given data on the time and position of a whiffle ball as it falls to the ground. We attempt to model the falling ball and we confront the different resistance terms and models.

    3-045-RampBounce-ModelingScenario
    Students build two projectile motion models (1) a one-dimensional model for a vertically falling ball from a fixed distance until it hits an inclined ramp and (2) a two-dimensional projectile motion model of the ball bouncing off the ramp.

    3-009-BallDropInWater-ModelingScenario
    We conduct an analysis of a falling ball in liquid to determine its terminal velocity and to ascertain just what radius ball for a given mass density is necessary to attain a designated terminal velocity.

    3-054-Relay-ModelingScenario
    We use a differential equations of one dimensional projectile motion and an integration of velocity for total distance to model the relay between an outfielder and an infielder in throwing the ball to home plate.

    3-011-EulerBallThrowing-ModelingScenario
    If a tennis ball is thrown through the air it will hit the ground due to gravity. Using Euler's method, write a short script (Python, Matlab, R, etc.) to find the trajectory of the ball which will maximize the distance the ball lands from the...

    1-020-IceMelt-ModelingScenario
    We offer up the claim of a store catalog that its ice ball mold allows users to ``. . . make ice balls that outlast cubes and won't water drinks down.'' We ask students to build a mathematical model to defend or contradict this claim.
