Teach Hypothesis Using Möbius Strips

By Janice VanCleave

Demonstrations are great for starting a class.

Mobius Strip

The more magical the better.

I suggest that you give no clues about what is going to happen. In fact,  make it as mystical as possible. Even prepare your materials in advance.

Instructions:

Students are asked to prepare for the demonstration. Regardless of age, all students are asked to observe what happens. I tell them that I will announce when the demonstrate starts and will announce when it is over. More specifics will be given during the demonstration.

The main thing is for the kids to observe and not be writing during your demonstration.

NOTE: Don’t give the demonstration a title–Don’t use the word magic–You don’t want the kids to be given any clues about what is going to happen.

What to Do!

First prepare the paper circles that you will use in the demo.
