String Activity

The string activity was an interesting approach to a lesson on simple lines and the way they interact. While I found the concept of the activity rather enjoyable, the untangling ruined most of the fun I could have had. Everytime I went to tangle a string I found myself always thinking of how tedious it would be untangling the same string. Being a terribly lazy person I hesitated on knotting the string over and over purposely avoiding clean up. It was also nice because it was a good contrast to the lecture type style of teaching. The activity provied not only information but also provided a visual that was tangible.
