Curated OER
S-I-R Model of Disease
In this SIR model worksheet, students use the SIR method to determine the rate of change of people real life problems. They investigate the sequence of people infected with a disease, the number recovered, and the number of susceptible...
Curated OER
Analyzing the S-I-R Model
In this SIR model activity, students analyze a real life problem using the SIR method. They explore given facts and determine the threshold value for an epidemic, the sequence for the recovery period, and the effect on the model from a...
Curated OER
A Model for the Spread of Disease
In this model worksheet, students explore a real life scenario to determine the rate at which a disease may spread. They use Euler's Method and the SIR model to determine values at a given point in time. This two-page worksheet...
Curated OER
Epidemic or False Alert?
In this rate worksheet, students use the SIR model to determine if a disease is spreading at an epidemic rate. They find the slope of a curve and the slope of a line that goes through a given point. This two-page worksheet contains...
