    2012-Lensyl-Urbano-The Draining of a Plastic Bottle-Integrating a Physics Experiment into Calculus
    I punched a small hole (about 1mm radius) in a one gallon plastic bottle and had my students measure the rate at which water drained.

    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.

    2017-CW_Groetsch-Hammer and Feather - Some Calculus of Mass and Fall Time
    Does a heavy object fall faster than a lighter one? In 1971 NASA astronaut Dave Scott, Commander of the Apollo 15 lunar mission, used a hammer and a falcon feather on the surface of the moon to give a dramatic illustration that this is not so.

    Using Newton's Second Law of motion we can determine the time it takes for a mass to slide along a chord of a vertical circle from high point to any point along the circle. Initially, the result is nonintuitive and challenging to understand.
