At the Basilica, your assignment was to find interesting examples of as many rozettes,  border patterns and  wallpaper patterns as possible.

You and your team mate(s) will create a poster/website showing photographs of the symmetry patterns you found, with a label identifying the symmetry group. You should clearly explain what kind of symmetry group each pattern has and why.

You should supplement your patterns with some found outside the Basilica. Look for symmetry groups in your home, store, work, or anywhere else yu can find them.

 

Grading Rubric:
