Most objects found in nature have symmetry, and symmetry is associated with beauty. Flowers, diamonds, butterflies, snail shells, leaves, etc are all beautiful, highly symmetrical because of harmony and attractiveness of their forms and proportions.]]> 2018-01-27 19:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jmircheska/ub4dbctoou2r/wish/225316867 Symmetry in plants: jmircheska https://padlet.com/jmircheska/ub4dbctoou2r/wish/225317363 Symmetry can be found everywhere. Water moleculеs are symmetrical, snowflakes, fruit, flowers, tree leaves, clovers and other plants. ]]> 2018-01-27 19:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jmircheska/ub4dbctoou2r/wish/225317363 Symmetry in animals and in the human body: jmircheska https://padlet.com/jmircheska/ub4dbctoou2r/wish/225317475 The human body and human face are symmetrical. Animals are also symmetrical, mammals, birds, insects, shells, sea stars etc. ]]> 2018-01-27 19:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jmircheska/ub4dbctoou2r/wish/225317475 Playing with symmetry jmircheska https://padlet.com/jmircheska/ub4dbctoou2r/wish/232624859 Students were making symmetrical butterflies with paint and symmetrical tree leaves from paper. They also made the logo of
