The Mobius Strip

- The Mobius Strip is a very simple structure to make with a strip of paper. But it is surprisingly complex. Students can have many hours of learning and enjoyment experimenting with a Mobius Strip.

It is made by taking a strip of paper tape, giving it a half twist and pasting the ends together.

What was a strip with 2 distinct sides, becomes a strip with ONLY ONE SIDE and ONLY ONE EDGE!

The Mobius Strip is fundamental to the field of Topology.

The Möbius strip was first discovered in 1858 by a German mathematician named August Möbius while he was researching geometric theories.
