    1-059-ContainerShapeFallingWater-ModelingScenario
    We examine many different physical situations to determine the time it takes a fixed volume of water to flow out of different shape containers through the same size exit hole at the bottom of the container.

    1-058-WaterClocks-ModelingScenario
    We apply Torricelli's Law to the task of building a water clock in which the height of the water in a container falls at a constant rate when the container has a hole in the bottom to let the water flow out.

    1-067-ModelingWithSigmoidCurves-ModelingScenario
    The assignment considers two well-known models of population growth, Verhulst-Pearl and Gompertz models, for which qualitative and quantitative analyses are provided. The graphs of the corresponding functions have a sigmoidal or S-shape.

    1-128-RocketFlight-ModelingScenario
    We offer an opportunity to build a mathematical model using Newton's Second Law of Motion and a Free Body Diagram to analyze the forces acting on the rocket of changing mass in its upward flight under power and then without power followed by its...

    1-082-MirroMirror-ModelingScenario
    This project models the ``Foucault Knife Edge Test,'' an optical test commonly used by amateur astronomers who make their own mirrors for reflecting telescopes. The goal of the test is to estimate the shape of the surface of a mirror from optical...

    1-105-AnimalFall-ModelingScenario
    This project uses Newton's Second Law of Motion to model a falling animal with a resistance term proportional to cross sectional area of the animal, presumed to be spherical in shape.

    1-053-SlimeSpread-ModelingScenario
    We offer a video showing real time spread of a cylinder of slime and challenge students to build a mathematical model for this phenomenon.
