STEM and PolyGonzo Stretch Cube

STEM and PolyGonzo Stretch Cube

It is Time to Play and Learn with The PolyGonzo Stretch Cube

The PolyGonzo Stretch Cube is a remarkable hands on toy that kept me busy for a looong time. I manipulated this cool toy into a bunch of different shapes, including a cube,triangle, hexagon, and attempted every letter of the English alphabet (the package says it can be done).I even pulled the tubes apart and twisted the innerelasticstring to create even more designs.


                                             
Then I started wondering about what else I could do with this fidgethmmmm??  Bubbles popped into my mind!!!……… Which led to this awesome blogbabble dabble do (http://babbledabbledo.com/science-engineering-kids-tensile-bubbles/) It is a great place to start exploring STEM and Tensile Bubbles!
I created a lab sheet to record observations from the bubbles created with the Polygonza stretch cube .

 My daughter and I have a poppin good time!!  We have planned more investigations using the Polygonza stretch cube. I included some homemade bubble solutions we have tried with success.  I would love to know if you have any favorites.
