    1-047a-CondensationOptimization-ModelingScenario
    We seek to optimize a condensation process which is modeled by a simulation using 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.

    1-093-SucroseReaction-ModelingScenario
    We offer data on the hydrolysis of sucrose in the presence of catalyst sucrase. We present students with several models and ask which model is best. We ask students to estimate parameters for the best model.

    1-005B-ChemDataCollection-ModelingScenario
    A chemistry graduate student is collecting data on a chemical reaction and does a poor job of collecting the data. Indeed, he only collects the data at the start and end of a number of three minute intervals and does not note the times.

    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.
