    2013-Alicia_Caldwell-Students Rise to the Challenge of Modeling Yeast Growth Despite Sour Hiccups from Imperfect Data
    This paper describes a lab in which students in an Applied Mathematics in Biology course observe the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a yeast strain, in differing sugar concentrations for use in learning modeling.

    1-094-SteepingTea-ModelingScenario
    We provide photographs of steeping process for a tea steeped in hot water. Students build a differential equation model for the steeping process and do parameter estimation using the color of our tea as a way to measure relative concentration.

    1-028-SouthernSweetIcedTea-ModelingScenario
    We offer raw data collected from a webcam and a thermometer for evaluating the strength of steeping tea. We ask students to build a mathematical model using the data to predict how long the tea should steep before essentially reaching saturation.
