1-125-S-DiceyPopulations
04 Mar 2019 | | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
We offer students an opportunity to generate unique data for their team on a death and immigration model using 12 and 20 sided dice and then pass on the data to another student team for analysis with a model they built. The key is to recover the parameters and try to explain how the simulation...

1-026-S-Evaporation
04 Jun 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
We provide data (in EXCEL and Mathematica files) on evaporation of 91% isopropyl alcohol in six different Petri dishes and one conical funnel and on evaporation of water in one Petri dish. We ask students to develop a mathematical model for the rate of evaporation for the alcohol mixture...

1-019-S-RocksInTheHead
04 Jun 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
We describe an experiment and offer data from a previously conducted experiment on the perception of the individual mass of a collection of rocks in comparison to a 100 g brass mass. We lead students to use the logistic differential equation as a reasonable model, estimate the parameters,...

1-017-S-DiseaseSpread
04 Jun 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel
We offer a physical situation, using a grid and M and M candies, to simulate the spread of disease. Students conduct the simulation and collect the data which is used to estimate parameters (in several ways) in a differential equation model for the spread of the disease. Students ...
