Where Can You Find the Fibonacci Sequence?
The Fibonacci sequence application can be seen in nature, on phenomena,
on the human body, and in photographs.

1. Fibonacci Sequence in Nature


 In the number of petals of flowers

Many flowers follow the numbers in the Fibonacci sequence about the number
of petals they possess naturally. These are some examples:

 In the number of sections in fruits

When we observe fruits, we may notice that their number of sections is


in the Fibonacci sequence.

 The Fibonacci Spiral


Using the first ten (10) numbers in the Fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 as dimensions of
adjacent squares, you can create a Fibonacci spiral. When arranged in a certain way, the Fibonacci sequence
creates a special spiral pattern.
How to create a Fibonacci spiral
1. In creating a Fibonacci spiral, begin by drawing two 1 x 1 squares. Draw a 2 x 2 square using the sides of the
rectangle formed by the first two squares. Draw a 3 x 3 square using the sides of the second rectangle
formed. You will notice that the sides of the squares are Fibonacci numbers. Continue drawing squares using
the Fibonacci numbers as sides of the squares.

2. In creating a spiral-like shape, draw curves in the squares beginning with the 1 x 1 squares.

The Fibonacci spiral is seen in the nautilus shell as shown in the


picture.
The Fibonacci spiral can be observed in photographs of
storms, specifically hurricanes, and tornadoes.

The sunflower seeds are another example where we


can see the Fibonacci spiral.

Fibonacci numbers are present on the spirals


that appear on the skin of pineapples and pine
cones. The number of spirals found in them
belongs to the Fibonacci numbers.

There are some parts in the body where the


Fibonacci spiral is evident.
