Here are the snowflakes with their moebius strips. We have made them before, but the kidlets seem to find them endlessly fascinating. I was vaguely wondering what the heck they were actually for, so I had a bit of a search and found that there are numerous applications, some very complex sounding but others very simple, such as the fact that making a conveyer belt in a moebius loop allows it to last longer due to getting equal wear and tear on both sides of the material.
The Mirroring game was lots of fun. We were supposed to be observing the scale of movement and thus discovering whether the snowflakes had a preference for small or large actions, however the only difference we noted was that they wanted to move faster than us grownups.
