    6-012-RiverCrossing-ModelingScenario
    Students develop a model of a river crossing in a boat with thrust using Newton's Second Law of Motion from a Free Body Diagram they construct. The model is thence a system of one second order linear and a second order nonlinear differential...

    1-116-TropicalStormWindspeeds-ModelingScenario
    We model the decay of tropical cyclone winds once a storm makes landfall. We use data from two recent storms from the National Hurricane Center to estimate parameters emanating from a differential equation using a first order exponential decay model.

    1-165-FlushToilet-ModelingScenario
    This activity analyzes the spread of a technological innovation using the Bass Model from Economics. The equation is a first-order, two-parameter separable equation and the solution has a characteristic S-shaped curve or sigmoid curve.
