Modeling Across the Mathematics Curriculum

I just saw this blog post , and think the images that look like contour maps would be useful in class.  Maybe have the students create them using foam board.  Create hillscapes with multiple peaks and valleys. I couldn't find a name on the blog post or I would give credit to the artist.  Also, the link saying where the images were taken from did not work (404).

After having taught Calc I and Calc III recently, now I find myself teaching Calc II, integral calculus, in the fall.  So again I am looking for projects. These ideas are on Dave Martin's Real teaching means real learning blog. A project that combines creating images on GeoGebra with functions and then calculating the areas created.  I think students would like the GeoGebra part, but there is little motivation for the need of calculating the areas.  Another page talking about the same project with some nice pics. Can Kobe Bryant jump over a moving car ?  A video shows him doing it.  Can we use calculus, including integration, to investigate this? Explain mathematically explaining everything you know about an irregularly shaped symmetrical object such as a bottle or a vase. Include detailed drawings and calculations. Create a video of an object in free-fall .  You must throw your object, and calculate the velocity of the object when it left your hand.  Appropriate measure
