Scientific Enquiry - Paper Loop

In this starter clip from Teachers TV, the principles of the mobius strip are demonstrated by scientist Dr Mark Biddiss. Children from Orion Primary School in north London watch Dr. Biddiss show how the strip works, as he twists the paper strip into a loop and cuts it along its length to produce one big loop. This could lead into a practical activity with children exploring the Mobius strip.
