    2000-deOlivera-Delfino-Costa-Leite-Pinhole Water Flow From Cylindrical Bottles
    The water flowing from the first bottle feeds the second one located below it. The same concepts of mass and energy conservation now lead to a non-trivial differential equation for the lowest bottle dynamics.

    2018-Chris McCarthy-Newtons Law of Cooling
    You have hot water (initial temperature ) in a container, say a cup or glass. The temperature in the room is cooler, say a constant degrees Celsius. Come up with a differential equation that models the water's temperature.
