McCarthy, Chris; Lan, Jie; Li, Jieying – PRIMUS, 2019
We present noncompetitive adsorption as "particles in a box with one sticky wall." We start with a general model that can be modeled as a simple ordinary differential equation (ODE). To verify the ODE students run a computer simulation. The ODE's solution imperfectly fits the simulation's data. This leads to the diffusion partial…

Manouchehri, Azita; Sanjari, Azin – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
We analyzed 5th grade students' interactions with one computer-based modeling simulation to examine how they defined and prioritized variables in a dynamically simulated environment. Results revealed that exposure to the simulation environment helped students visualize continuous motions, interpret the different quantities present in the model,…
