    5-026-Evictions-ModelingScenario
    In this project, students develop two SIS models to study eviction trends in a population of non-homeowner households using an actual eviction rate. Students can calculate solutions, sketch the phase portrait, and determine long-term trends .

    1-142-WaterBottles-ModelingScenario
    This project involves the application of Newton's law of cooling to the study of insulated water bottles. Students have the option to conduct experiments with their own bottles outside of class or use data included in the student version.

    1-100-EngineeringDemographics-ModelingScenario
    Students show how models can be used to examine social issues. The students examine three different models and use numerical methods to apply each model to demographic data for the percentage of engineering degrees awarded to women in the United...

    1-047-Condensation-ModelingScenario
    We simulate the random motion of 200 particles in a 50 by 50 square in which a particle bounces off the two vertical and top walls and condenses on the bottom wall. Animations are produced and data is offered for modeling with a differential...

    3-103-PullBackCars-ModelingScenario
    This activity offers analysis of a toy pull-back car: solution of a differential equation from model; data collection and parameter estimation; and adapting the model to predict maximum speed and distance traveled for a new pull-back distance.

    1-092-DashItAll-ModelingSenario
    This project uses very basic physics, Newton's Second Law of Motion, to model the motion of a sprinter running down a track. We derive the classic Hill-Keller model for a sprinter exerting ``maximum'' effort as he/she accelerates down a track.
