Borromean rings

thingiverse

This example demonstrates Borromean rings, where no two ellipses are linked directly, yet they're all interconnected. Perfect circles cannot achieve this, so I used some ellipses instead. Standards CCSS Overview and Background This tool serves as an introduction to the fascinating world of knots and links. Today, knot theory is a vibrant field of research, where mathematicians strive to classify all distinct knots and identify identical knots through diverse presentations. Lesson Plan and Activity This object isn't designed for a classroom activity; it's meant to captivate attention by illustrating how counterintuitive link topology can be. Materials Needed No materials are required.
