Through real life examples and animation, this video shows students that when an object is symmetrical, it has the property of symmetry and that the line of symmetry is the line of reflection. Students will come to understand that many natural and geometric shapes are symmetrical. The program discusses rotational symmetry, translational symmetry. Viewers will see that symmetry is an important property used in engineering, design and art.
