It's frog party time! With frog banners, frog juice, and a triangle hunt, your garden party is sure to be both entertaining and educational. The lesson connects geometry, earth science, and delicious snacks to teach kids about ecosystems...

Students explore lines of symmetry in geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students construct angles using mirrors and rubberbands, then predict the number of images that will appear in the reflection. Students reproduce lines of...

Young scholars explore lines of symmetry. For this symmetry lesson, students divide and combine shapes along basic lines of symmetry. Young scholars explore symmetry in real life objects.

Why is "ambulance" written backwards on emergency vehicles? Young geometers apply principles of symmetry to translate words written backwards. See if your school or district subscribes to Jobland, where you can view a clip that explains...

In this symmetry activity, students put organisms into categories of having line symmetry or rotational symmetry and answer questions about them. Students put 8 organisms into the chart and answer 3 questions.

Students 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.

Students explore symmetry.  In this geometry and scientific inquiry lesson plan, students design paper airplanes with middle line symmetry, as well as right, obtuse, and acute angles.  Students measure the plane's angles using...

In this life science learning exercise, students examine the 4 stages of the butterfly's life cycle and color in the black line pictures. They read the difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical objects before they complete...

Students observe butterfly images and then draw and paint their own design. They use this activity to explain symmetry.

Symmetry, line, shape, art, and math are all connected through a fun hands-on craft. Included are instructions to a classic activity, where learners create butterflies to show symmetry in nature and then discuss symmetry in math. It is...

Students design original radial art designs.In this radial design lesson, students use compasses and a nature inspired idea to create radial art. Students understand the use of symmetry, balance and design shapes in continual patterns....

In this letter puzzle worksheet, high schoolers solve 2 puzzles given a list of letters.  Students determine the relationship between the set of letters.

Students make jewelry using different shapes from magazines, tissue paper, cardboard, and other materials. In this making jewelry lesson plan, students complete this hands on activity to discuss how shapes are used.

Fifth graders study English reading and writing skills as they participate in exciting interdisciplinary hands-on activities using a basal reading series.
