    1-102-CancerTumor-ModelingScenario
    This module guides students in the use of differential equation models to predict cancer growth and optimize treatment outcomes. Several classical models for cancer growth are studied, including exponential, power law, Bertalanffy, logistic, and...

    1-054-GrowthInFarmland-ModelingScenario
    An enriching project developing a model from data with missing temporal information is described. Students fit functions to the data that leads to the creation of a differential equations model, which they then are required to analyze in multiple...

    1-005-OilSlick-ModelingScenario
    We describe a modeling activity with difference and differential equations which enlightens students on the model building process and parameter estimation for a linear, first-order, non-homogeneous, ordinary differential equation.

    1-011A-Kinetics-ModelingScenario
    We help students see the connection between college level chemistry course work and their differential equations coursework. We do this through modeling kinetics, or rates of chemical reaction.

    1-001s-StochasticMDeathImmigration-ModelingScenario
    We develop a mathematical model of a death and immigration process using m&ms as a stochastic process with the help of probability generating functions (pgf). We start with 50 m&ms in a bag.

    1-001d-HotelPopulationDecay-ModelingScenario
    You will be modeling the following situation: 100 people are in a hotel. Each day, each person has a random chance of 50% of leaving the hotel. No new people enter the hotel. Before you run the simulation in MATLAB, answer some questions.

    1-084-GoingViral-ModelingScenario
    Students employ randomization in order to create a simulation of the spread of a viral disease in a population (the classroom). Students then use qualitative analysis of the expected behavior of the virus to devise a logistic differential equation.

    1-046-GoingViral-ModelingScenario
    Students participate in a simulation of the spread of a viral disease in the classroom and model the process with a logistic differential equation. The simulation uses random numbers and the entire class participates.
