The Mobius Strip Follow FizzicsEd 150 Science Experiments: Comments 0 You will need: One piece of paper Scissors A felt tip pen Sticky Tape Copyright Instruction 1 Cut the paper lengthwise, making a 5cm wide strip of paper. 2 Give the paper a half twist (180 degrees) and join the ends together with sticky tape. 3 Draw a line along the centre of the strip and keep going all the way around the paper. 4 Where did you end up? 5 Try cutting along the line you made… what happens? 6 School science visits since 2004! – Curriculum-linked & award-winning incursions. – Over 40 primary & high school programs to choose from. – Designed by experienced educators. – Over 2 million students reached. – Face to face incursions & online programs available. – Early learning centre visits too! 7 Online courses for teachers & parents – Help students learn how science really works Why Does This Happen? Shapes are described in a branch of mathematics called Topology. By twisting the paper you created a shape that has one continuous side. Cutting the strip lengthways made a long chain, where there was still only one side! Try twisting the paper in even and odd numbers – does a pattern emerge? The Mobius strip was discovered in 1858 by August Ferdinand Mobius. Learn more!
