Pattern Sleuths: Exploring the Geometry of Soap Films & Bubbles
In this investigation, students will hone their skills as pattern-seekers in exploring the geometrical properties of bounded and non-bounded soap films and bubbles.
They will have the opportunity to create beautiful minimal surface structures, to think like a famous physicist, and to make connections between the patterns of soap bubbles and the patterns of myriad structures in nature.
