    1-110-TidePoolSnails-ModelingScenario
    Students use linear differential equations to model temperature change, in a sand tide pool and inside the shell of a snail in the tide pool. We offer data on temperature in a tide pool as the sun heats the water. Students model the tide pool's...

    3-065-UpDown-ModelingScenario
    We model the height of a launched object which is subject to resistance proportional to velocity during its flight. We ask questions about the motion as well, e.g., highest point or apex and terminal velocity.

    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.
