Study Notes
Symmetry and Patterns
- Symmetry is when different sides of something are alike.
- When we hear the term patterns, we tend to think of repeated designs or arrangements.
- An order of succession or arrangement that follows a rule is called a sequence.
Types of Symmetry
- Mirror symmetry is an example of symmetry, where one half of an object is a mirror image of the other half.
- The inside of an apple sliced in half exhibits radial symmetry, where similar parts are arranged around a central axis.
- Rotational symmetry is exhibited by an object that looks the same after a certain amount of rotation, such as a circle.
Patterns in Nature
- Patterns in nature are the repeated designs or arrangements found in natural objects or processes.
- We tend to think of repetition and regularity when we see patterns in nature.
- Randomness is NOT a characteristic of patterns in nature.
- Patterns in nature follow a rule or sequence, and can be found in various forms, such as the arrangement of leaves on a stem or the branching of trees.
