    1-116-TropicalStormWindspeeds-ModelingScenario
    We model the decay of tropical cyclone winds once a storm makes landfall. We use data from two recent storms from the National Hurricane Center to estimate parameters emanating from a differential equation using a first order exponential decay model.

    3-001-SpringMassDataAnalysis-ModelingScenario
    We offer data on position of a mass at end of spring over time where the spring mass configuration has damping due to taped flat index cards at the bottom of the mass. Modeling of a spring mass configuration and estimation of parameters are the core.

    3-002-ModelsMotivatingSecondOrder-ModelingScenario
    Ordinary differential equations involve second derivatives and second derivatives appear in many contexts, chief among them are the study of forces and resulting motion. This is principally because of Newton's Second Law of Motion.

    1-026-Evaporation-ModelingScenario
    We provide data on evaporation of 91% isopropyl alcohol in six different Petri dishes and one conical funnel and on evaporation of water in one Petri dish. We ask students to develop a mathematical model for the rate of change in the respective...
