    3-087-ThanosPopulationDynamicsInteractingSpecies-ModelingScenario
    Thanos snaps his fingers and turns half of all living creatures to dust with the hope of restoring balance to the natural world. How does this affect the long term behavior of various species?

    1-137-SheepGraze-ModelingScenario
    In this activity, students will apply graphical analysis (such as phase lines) to determine the long-term predictions of a differential equation model for pasture grass using two different formulas for the herbivore consumption rate.

    1-190-IntroClass-ModelingScenario
    Students go through development of ideas in mathematical modeling with differential equations. They encounter fundamental ideas of unlimited population growth, limited population growth and a predator prey system.

    5-015-RunnersSynchronize-ModelingScenario
    In this modeling scenario we practice finding and classifying equilibria of a one-variable differential equation. We do this in the context of a phase model which is often a simpler way of studying oscillatory phenomena.

    6-025-WhalesAndKrill-ModelingScenario
    Students will use Excel to observe qualitative behavior in a simulation of a predator-prey model, with blue whales and krill as the predator and prey populations, respectively.

    6-067-LotkaVolterra-ModelingScenario
    This modeling scenario guides students through the process of fitting the Lotka-Volterra model of two differential equations to a real time series observational data. Students use the capabilities of R and R studio.
