Students discover the angular solution of hydrogen activity. Depending on the undergraduate course, this activity can illustrate eigenvalue problems, to introduce Shrodinger's equation and particle wave duality, or to introduce...

Students will be able to identify a symmetrical furniture grouping from an asymmetrical grouping. They will also be able to judge the visual weight of an item and use it to create a type of balance in a composition.

Students examine the concept of symmetry. They use photographs in front of a mirror to see symmetry. They write an explanation or drawing of how a mirror always produces a line of symmetry.

Students explore the concepts of center of mass and static equilibrium by seeing how non-symmetrical objects balance. They also analyze why all forces on an object must cancel out exactly for an object to be stationary.

Sixth graders examine the concept of symmetry and balance. They view a wardrobe with an inlaid design, then design and create a symmetrical pattern using two different colors of construction paper.

Sixth graders examine and discuss the marquetry ornamentation on an antique bench. They design and create a symmetrically designed jewelry box using marquetry techniques.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.
