1-088-S-RoomTemperature
15 Jun 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Tracy Weyand
Students will analyze temperature variations in a room using Newton's Cooling Law. In this model, the only influence on the indoor temperature is the (oscillating) outdoor temperature (as we assume the heating/cooling system is broken). The main goal of this project is for students to set up...

1-068-S-WaterBottleCooling
14 Aug 2019 | | Contributor(s):: Eli E Goldwyn
The scenario uses an Inquiry Based Learning approach to walk the students through the creation and understanding of a differential equation describing how fluid in a water bottle will change its temperature to approach the ambient temperature in a room. The goal is for the students to understand...
