    2011-Carl_Leinbach-Beyond Newton's law of cooling - estimation of time since death
    The paper offers an excellent history of temperature-based methods and then proceeds to demonstrate these with some data. Here the history is rich and will support student investigation as well as faculty development.

    1-088-RoomTemperature-ModelingScenario
    Students will analyze temperature variations in a room using Newton's Cooling Law. In this model, the only influence on the indoor temperature is the (oscillating) outdoor temperature (as we assume the heating/cooling system is broken).

    1-079-HomeHeating-ModelingScenario
    This project concerns using Newton's Law of Cooling to model the heating of a house. In particular, if one is going away for awhile, is it more economical to leave a house at a desired temperature or reheat it upon return?

    2018-Chris McCarthy-Newtons Law of Cooling
    You have hot water (initial temperature ) in a container, say a cup or glass. The temperature in the room is cooler, say a constant degrees Celsius. Come up with a differential equation that models the water's temperature.
