We are moving forward with our Geometry Unit. We talked about symmetry today and discussed how it's like a mirror image. We played a SmartBoard lesson as a class where the students had to determine lines of symmetry in letters. Then we went outside and explored symmetry in nature. We talked about how many things in nature are naturally symmetrical. The students gathered 4 or more things from nature that were symmetrical and glued them on a piece of paper. Later this week they will make their own "Bill Nye The Science Guy" video with their group, teaching about symmetry and congruency. Very exciting! I'll try and upload those if I can. :)
Using a mirror to make sure her leaf is symmetrical.
This wasn't a part of nature but the straw was symmetrical!
This was a very engaging activity!
