    3-090-OneSpringMass-ModelingScenario
    We lead students through building a mathematical model for a single mass (bob)-spring system that is hanging vertically. We also lead the students, using data that they collect together with their model to approximate the value of the spring...

    2015-Pendrill-Eager-Free fall and harmonic oscillations analyzing trampoline jumps
    In this work, the motion on a trampoline is modelled by assuming a linear relation between force and deflection, giving harmonic oscillations for small amplitudes.

    3-002-ModelsMotivatingSecondOrder-ModelingScenario
    Ordinary differential equations involve second derivatives and second derivatives appear in many contexts, chief among them are the study of forces and resulting motion. This is principally because of Newton's Second Law of Motion.

    3-016-FallingCoffeeFilters-ModelingScenario
    We are given data on the time and position of a stack of coffee filters as it falls to the ground. We attempt to model the falling mass and we confront the different resistance terms and models.

    5-077-MandMAttritionWarfare-ModelingScenario
    Students model attrition between two opposing forces using M&M candies and discover a system of linear differential equations of order one, often called the Lanchester equations.

    4-055-ShatterWineGlass-ModelingScenario
    This module takes students through real life scenarios to examine resonance and its destructive power using differential equation models. What is resonance? How does it happen? Why is it important?

    2002-Dietz-Heesterbeek-Daniel Bernoulli-epidemiological model revisited
    The seminal paper by Daniel Bernoulli published in 1766 is put into a new perspective. After a short account of smallpox inoculation and of Bernoulli’s life, the motivation for that paper and its impact are described.

    1-057-FiguringFluidFlow-ModelingScenario
    We propose three differential equations models for the height of a column of falling water as the water exits a small bore hole at the bottom of the cylinder and ask students to determine which model is the best of the three.

    3-101-SpringMassFirstTry-NoResistance-ModelingScenario
    Students build a model based on their perceptions of what the solution should look like for a simple spring mass system with no damping.
