    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.

    1-131-CaffeineElimination-ModelingScenario
    We model the concentration of caffeine 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.

    1-130-AspirinAbsorption-ModelingScenario
    We model the amount of aspirin absorbed by the human body at a constant rate. This is a ``zero-order reaction'' in the language of pharmacokinetics -- the study of how drugs move in the body.

    5-022-ColdPill-ModelingScenario
    A model for the flow of a cold pill drug through the gastrointestinal compartment to the bloodstream compartment of a human subject is proposed. Students solve the system of differential equation model, use known parameter values, and plot solutions.

    1-036-NeutralBuoyancy-ModelingScenario
    An object may hang suspended at, say, ten foot depth in a column of water if at ten feet underwater the density of the object equals the density of water. We study this phenomenon

    4-055-ShatterWineGlass-ModelingScenario
    This module takes students through real life scenarios to examine resonance and its destructive power using differential equation models. What is resonance? How does it happen? Why is it important?

    1-085-DrugBolus-ModelingScenario
    Given data on the concentration of a drug in the plasma of a human in mg/L at certain time intervals in hours can we determine the rate at which the drug leaves the plasma as well as the initial amount administered in a intravenous bolus of the drug?
