Free-falling paper shapes exhibit rich, complex and varied behaviours that are extremely challenging to model analytically. Physical experimentation aids in system understanding, but is time-consuming ...

The telescope conjecture gave mathematicians a handle on ways to map one sphere to another. Now that it has been disproved, the universe of shapes has exploded. In early June, buzz built as ...

After doing the Shapes Lab, have kids do this hands-on activity to apply what they've learned about shapes. Demonstrate how to connect straws with paper clips. As groups finish building their shapes, ...
