Intriguing Worm Hole Bubble for the High School Project
Each year my students really enjoy working with the Zometools. In one unit, we are studying the shortest path. It is very fun for them to extend this idea to the third dimension and I use your bubble unit to do that. I did have an interesting exploration this year. A student named Dan remembered reading about how you could model the idea of a worm hole with bubbles from a book he had read. I told him to try it out and he had an assistant, Amy, help and I thought what they did was pretty interesting.
First, they made a prism where the opposite faces are parallel and squares.
Then they dipped the opposite faces into the bubble juice. There is only bubble juice in 2 faces.
Here's where you need help. Both people blow from opposite faces. The bubbles will "join".
Here are Dan and Amy blowing.
