    6-022-CannibalismPredatorPrey-ModelingScenario
    The Lotka-Volterra model tells us that the prey and predator exhibit a shifted cyclic behavior over time. In this module, we look at modifying this prey-predator model to consider the case when there is cannibalism in the predator species.

    6-011-HumansVsZombies-ModelingScenario
    Students analyze the SIR differential equations model in the context of a zombie invasion of a human population. Students analyze a two equation system representing only two populations, humans and zombies and then recovered zombies.

    1-114-EarthClimate-ModelingScenario
    In this modeling scenario, we investigate the Earth's climate using a zero-dimensional energy balance model. Energy balance models are climate models that try to predict the average surface temperature of the Earth.

    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.
