Lesson Overview

The Fibonacci Sequence, also known as the Golden Ratio, is a mathematical numeric sequence seen throughout nature—from the growth pattern of the smallest seed to the path of breaking waves, from the shell of the snail to the swirling shape of the titan galaxies. 

Many artists and architects hold that the Golden Ratio makes the most beautiful. and visually pleasing shape. The grandest feats of engineering and construction, and often the most beautiful, reflect the proportions of the Fibonacci Sequence. It has been called “nature’s code.” 

In this lesson, students will explore examples of the Fibonacci Sequence in nature and reflect on what this mysterious code reveals to us about our loving Creator.
