Summary:
This accessible module guides students through exploring the COVID-19 Simulator developed by ISEE. Students dig into the four scenarios provided (including the parameters and the graphs), construct their own scenarios, and interpret their results.
Description
This module was developed for a 1xx level mathematical modeling class. It is broadly accessible but does have some questions about rates of change and accumulation. It involves reading and interpreting graphs, varying parameters, and supporting conclusions with graphs/data. Link to the website of the COVID-19 Simulator is attached as well as a link to the google doc which can be downloaded and edited.
