    Nature exhibits patterns in many forms that can be observed and analyzed. Hexagonal structures like honeycombs and turtle scutes illustrate efficient geometric designs. The stripes of zebras and webs of spiders demonstrate patterns governed by mathematical rules. Nautilus shells and tree rings reveal natural spirals and growth over time. Weather phenomena like hurricanes, galaxies, sea waves and cracks in materials often form fractal patterns like golden spirals. These observable patterns in nature provide insight into principles of structure, growth, stress relief and fluid dynamics.

    Behavior of nature can be observed in our

    Honeycomb

    Honeycombs of the bees show specific regular repeating hexagons.
    The design is highly efficient, it uses the least amount of wax to store the honey giving a
    strong structure with no gaps.

    Zebra’s coat, the alternating pattern of blacks and white are due to mathematical rules that
    govern the pigmentation chemicals of skin.

    Spider webs illustrate a beautiful pattern. The spider creates a structure by performing
    innate steps.

    Nautilus Shell has natural pattern which contains a spiral shape called logarithmic spiral.

    Age of trees can be determined by applying dendrochronology which is a scientific method


    of dating based on the amount of rings found in the core of a tree.

    Turtles have growth rings called “scutes” which are hexagonal in shape. The age of the
    turtle can be estimated based from its scutes. The smallest scute is in the center and is the
    oldest one, while the largest ones on the outside are the newer ones.

    Waves of Foam
    the sea bubbles

    Hurricane Meander
    Lighting during storms creates fractals.

    Foam bubbles formed by trapping pockets of gas in a liquid or solid.

    Cracks create a linear openings that form in materials to relieve stress in the land. The
    pattern of cracks indicates whether the materials is elastic or not. Cracks can also be
    found on the barks of trees which show some sort of weakness in the bark.

    The meander is one of series of regular sinuous curves, bends, loops, turns, or
    windings in the channel of the body of water. Meander is produced by a body of water
    as it erodes the sediments comprising an outer, concave bank and deposits this and
    other sediments downstream on an inner convex bank

    Hurricanes rotates, the enormous cloud bands form golden spiral.

    Galaxies form the same way as the golden spiral.

    The waves of the sea also move in golden spiral and even the fluid dynamics create
    golden spiral.
