Redo the activity (steiner tree) |
Possible activity:Use bubbles to explain steiner trees For two points, the shortest path is a straight line: http://math.berkeley.edu/~hutching/pub/sdb-156.jpeg For three points, the s.p. is three straight lines connecting at a point in the middle of the three original points: http://parentteachplay.com/inlieuofpreschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/bubbles83.jpg Pattern continues for infinite bubbles added. The results of connecting bubbles are accurate for the shortest path. Activity (Messy): Connect bubbles to illustrate steiner trees Pour soap/bubbles onto a flat surface. Note: clear bubbles may be difficult to see for visually impaired/blind students. This activity may take up too much time/be too messy. Students will be interested and have fun. |
Instead of soap bubbles, maybe use spheres or circles of playdough. Bright colors? Should be tested first: may not carry the same effect as bubbles for simulating the connections. |
