I7-09: Spontaneous Ordering - Crystal Formation Models
Additional Info
- ID Code: I7-09
- Purpose: Demonstrates the formation of crystal patterns from disordered objects
-
Description:
A pair of wooden frames can hold a collection of hexagonal objects. When shaken, the objects gradually form into a hexagonal grid, conforming the the container.
One of the frames has a few additional hexagons fixed to the base; try comparing the time/work required to form a lattice with or without these seeding points.
Donated by Dr. Stephen Parks.
