Want to hear a joke about paper? Nevermind… it’s tearable…

Paper. It is one of the most versatile crafting and creating substances around. But did you know that paper is not only amazing for creating with…it can also be used in epic science demonstrations! In this challenge, we ask you to make the longest paper chain you can, using the supplies you have at home. In our LIVE Q+A to follow, we will also do our world-famous MOBIUS STRIP demos that you can try yourselves. It is mind-blowing!

CHALLENGE VIDEO SCRIPT

[PARIS] Hi guys, my name is Paris and I work here at Science Space. We’ve got another little Maker Challenge for you to do at home. All you’re gonna need is five pieces of paper, a pair of scissors, and either some staples or some sticky tape. Now make sure you get your favourite adult to help you out with this, especially when you’re using the scissors. So all you need to do for this one is make the longest paper chain that you can out of the materials that you have. So simply just cutting the paper however you think will make it the longest, taping it together and ensuring that you’re making a chain that looks something like this. So what we’ll get you guys to do if you decide to do this challenge, post it on Facebook or Instagram, and tag us and show us how long you can make your paper chain. Thank you, see you next time!
