From the whorls of branches on a red pine tree to the delicate plume of a dandelion seed, nature exhibits beauty and symmetry in a variety of striking patterns. Help your students develop an “eye” for discovering micro and macro patterns in the field, forest and wetland ecosystems that are an integral part of our natural communities. Participate in a “Patterns in Nature” scavenger hunt. Learn about symmetry, the Fibonacci sequence and pattering of branches on trees.
