    3-044-DeepWell-ModelingScenario
    We drop a pebble in a deep well. Given the time elapsed from release of the pebble until we hear the splash determine the depth of the well.

    9-012-PDEGuitarTuning-ModelingScenario
    We lead students through a derivation of a partial differential equation which models the motion of a string held at both ends, a case of the one-dimensional wave equation, and then play it on Mathematica.

    3-099-PullBack-ModelingScenario
    We guide students through the development of an empirical model for the velocity and distance traveled of a simple pull-back toy. Students can record videos and extract data using their own pull-back toy or use data included.

    3-020-ChordPathTime-ModelingScenario
    Using Newton's Second Law of motion we can determine the time it takes for a mass to slide along a chord of a vertical circle from high point to any point along the circle. Initially, the result is nonintuitive and challenging to understand.

    4-023-MysteryCircuit-ModelingScenario
    Students to build a system of differential equations which model a circuit. We give each student a unique input voltage frequency parameter and ask for system response (gain) to that input as a voltage over one of the resistors.

    1-107-ClothDry-ModelingScenario
    We build a mathematical model for the rate of drying in a wet cloth while hanging in air. A model can be based on underlying physical principles (analytic) or based on observations and reasoned equations, but no physical assumptions (empirical).

    5-040-TunedMassDamper-Part-I-Modeling Scenario
    We offer an opportunity to build mathematical models to mitigate dangerous displacements in structures using structural improvements called Tuned Mass Dampers. We model the motion of the original structure as a spring-mass-dashpot system.

    9-020-HeatDiffusion-ModelingScenario
    This project guides students through experimental, analytical, and numerical techniques for understanding the heat (diffusion) equation with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. In particular, students collect data and model a physical scenario.

    SIMIODE Spring 2024 Webinars - WikiModel
    WikiModel is cloud-based application and requires no installation and is run via a web-browser to facilitate rapid implementation. Equations are typed in as they appear in a textbook. ODEs are automatically integrated via Runge-Kutta methods.
