Study Notes

Patterns in Nature

  • A pattern in nature is characterized by a repeating design or arrangement.
  • The main characteristic of a pattern in nature is that it has a repeating design or arrangement.

Irregular Patterns

  • An example of a pattern that is not regular or uniform is a mountain range, as it has varying shapes and sizes.
  • The term used to describe patterns that are not regular or uniform is "irregular".

Symmetry

  • Symmetry is the quality of being evenly balanced and proportioned.
  • An example of symmetry is a butterfly's wings, as they are identical on both sides.
  • The main characteristic of symmetry is being evenly balanced and proportioned.

Examples of Symmetry

  • A snowflake is an example of symmetry, as it has identical patterns on all sides.
  • A human face is an example of symmetry, as it has identical features on both sides.

Non-Examples of Symmetry

  • A mountain range is not an example of symmetry, as it does not have identical patterns on all sides.
  • The concept of symmetry does not describe a pattern that is not evenly balanced and proportioned.

Orderly and Symmetrical Patterns

  • An example of a pattern that is orderly and symmetrical is a honeycomb, as it has identical hexagonal shapes arranged in a repeating pattern.
