SIMIODE Activities Using Data for Students Learning On Line

SIMIODE Immediate Activities Using Data

for Students Learning On Line

As teachers and students move to online learning we at SIMIODE want to direct both to our resources which have active and engaged learning, including, data collection videos and activities. These have a version open to students with out any registration and a version open to teachers with registration. All SIMIODE Materials are open source and modifiable by teachers. All is FREE in SIMIODE and we are proud to say we are supported by the United States National Science Foundation.

We list here some of our resources which are immediate, useful, and involve data and we commend to you our Resource Guide which lists Modeling Scenarios arranged in a traditional differential equations textbook table of contents. 

Here is one which has not data, but engages and requires only calculus integration.
