ABSTRACT
This project helps students explore the world of geometry and symmetry. Using one of the Scratch extensions, the https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003399070/3427a80a-fe85-4158-b88e-5f024f8f6ad8/content/pencil.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> Pen, we’ll start drawing simple shapes and then get a little more sophisticated with nested loops to create interesting patterns. The https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003399070/3427a80a-fe85-4158-b88e-5f024f8f6ad8/content/pencil.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> Stamp function will come in handy to make some snowflakes, further exploring the concept of symmetry. In about 45 minutes (for adults), we should end up with an interesting program that reveals some of the beauty of mathematics and the world of science.
