    1-019-RocksInTheHead-Modeling Scenario
    We describe an experiment with data on the perception of the individual mass of a collection of rocks in comparison to a 100 g brass mass. Students use the logistic differential equation as a reasonable model and estimate parameters.

    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.

    3-060-DataToDifferentialEquation-ModelingScenario
    Students use knowledge of second-order linear differential equations in conjunction with physical intuition of spring-mass systems to estimate the damping coefficient and spring constant from data.

    1-012-Sublimation-Modeling Scenario
    We offer data on the sublimation of dry ice (carbon dioxide) collected in a classroom setting so that students can model the rate of change in the mass of a small solid carbon dioxide block with a differential equation model, solve the...

    3-104-BungeeJumping-ModelingScenario
    In this project, students design a bungee jumping cord (cross-sectional area and length) that will keep jumpers safe. Students communicate their recommendations as a letter to a client interested in starting a bungee jumping business.

    1-011-Kinetics-ModelingScenario
    We make the connection between chemistry course and differential equations coursework. We do this through modeling kinetics, or rates of chemical reaction. We study zeroth, first, and second order reactions.

    9-152-HorizontalBeam-ModelingScenario
    This scenario is designed to lead students to discover a differential equation that models the vertical deflection of a horizontal beam under different boundary conditions.
