Exploring Symmetry

For Teachers 4th - 5th
Learners use a software program to create artwork and to manipulate images to study mirror and rotational symmetry. They take pictures of items in their environment in which they identify symmetry.

Science and Math Lab (Students Look at Symmetry in Nature)

For Teachers 7th - 9th
Young scholars study patterns. In this symmetry in nature lesson, students examine objects to determine what type of symmetry they have. They work in small groups to rotate through stations that have objects for them to study.
