Students make Moebius strips and use them to demonstrate the interconnectedness of an environment. They explore the natural cycles (water, oxygen/carbon dioxide, carbon, nitrogen) within the environment. They describe how the cycles are connected within an environment, use spatial sense to understand cycles in nature and understand why engineers need to know about environmental cycles.
