The beauty of symmetry in nature
Can you think of at least 5 more examples of symmetry in nature?
• Look at your own reflection in the mirror. You and your reflection are mirror images of each other. The mirror is called the line of symmetry.
• Choose a symmetrical object you like. On graph paper, draw a vertical line of symmetry, and then try to draw one half of your object. When you are finished, place a mirror on your line of symmetry and see if you get a complete figure.
