Junior Shapes in Nature
Date: Fri May 20, 5:00 PM EST - Fri May 20, 6:30 PM EST

What do butterfly wings, peacock feathers,
seashells, and lightning have in common?
They are all examples of patterns in nature.
Nature is a talented artist! It uses patterns,
based in math, in many creations. A pattern is
when something repeats itself, like a
checkerboard or stripes on a tiger.
