Patterns In The Park: Explore Engineering Concepts In Nature
By Lauren Schroeder, Salt And Lightspeed
If you want to add a little bit more intentionality into your study of nature, you can look for some specific patterns that show up in many different parts of nature. Here are a few specific patterns to look for:
1. Collect pinecones and look at the bottom. You’ll notice that the pinecone is made up of spirals going both to the left and right. The number of these spirals will be numbers on the fibonacci sequence! This famous sequence shows up everywhere in nature. Try having your kids paint the spirals different colors to help them see the pattern!
2. Find all the types of seeds you can, and see if you and your child can figure out what mechanisms the seed uses to travel! Do the seeds travel on the wind using wings or hairs that catch the breeze? Do they rely on animals or water to carry them away from their parent plant?
3. Have your child look around and tell you what stands out to them. Is it a red raspberry on a backdrop of green leaves? A yellow daisy? Plants and animals use color contrast for communication or camouflage, or to attract pollinators or repel predators. Talk about why each of those examples might have developed color contrast!
