    1-094-SteepingTea-ModelingScenario
    We provide photographs of steeping process for a tea steeped in hot water. Students build a differential equation model for the steeping process and do parameter estimation using the color of our tea as a way to measure relative concentration.

    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.

    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...

    1-057-FiguringFluidFlow-ModelingScenario
    We propose three differential equations models for the height of a column of falling water as the water exits a small bore hole at the bottom of the cylinder and ask students to determine which model is the best of the three.

    4-060-CircuitTuner-ModelingScenario
    We present essential definitions and laws for the study of simple RLC electrical circuits and build a differential equation model using these notions. We describe how such a circuit can be used to tune a radio to a certain input frequency.

    6-021-AcornsRodentsSnakes-ModelingScenario
    Students are given the opportunity to build a three tropic level model in which snakes eat rodents, rodents eat acorns, and acorns grow and occasionally mast.
