Symmetry of Matter

SYMMETRY OF MATTER
Lesson 3 - Page 5

Look at the Geometric Solids. Determine the overall symmetry and then try and determine the rotational symmetry. Use a pencil and put through the hole if you are having trouble seeing the rotational symmetry. Are they the same or different?

Shape	Overall symmetry	Rotational Symmetry
a. Large Square Prism
b. Small Square Prism
c. Large Rectangular Prism
d. Small Rectangular Prism
e. Pentagonal Prism
f. Large Triangular Prism
g. Small Triangular Prism
h. Square Pyramid
i. Triangular Pyramid
j. Large Cylinder
k. Small Cylinder
l. Cone
m.Sphere
n. Hemisphere
