    1-055-WaterFallingInCone-ModelingScenario
    We offer an opportunity to model the height of a falling body of water in a right circular cone (funnel) and to estimate an appropriate parameter based on data collected from a video of the experiment found on YouTube.

    3-110-MilitarySpringMassApplication-ModelingScenario
    The is a collection of different scenarios for the shock system of a trailer. In each scenario, students will transform the shock system of a trailer into a second-order differential equation, solve, and interpret the results.

    3-045-RampBounce-ModelingScenario
    Students build two projectile motion models (1) a one-dimensional model for a vertically falling ball from a fixed distance until it hits an inclined ramp and (2) a two-dimensional projectile motion model of the ball bouncing off the ramp.

    4-036-AltitudeDependentGravity-ModelingScenario
    When projectiles are way above Earth's surface gravity's changes become important when dealing with projectiles at high altitudes. We lay out an approach for such a case which is a second-order differential equation.
