Fibonacci Patterns in Nature & Design

The Fibonacci sequence appears in many places in the natural world, as well as in art,
architecture, and design. This worksheet will help you explore where Fibonacci patterns
exist and how they are used.

Step 1: Identify Fibonacci in Nature


Look at the following natural objects and count the number of spirals or patterns. Write
down whether they follow Fibonacci numbers:
1. Pinecones
2. Sunflowers
3. Snail shells
4. Galaxies
5. Tree branch growth

Step 2: Find Fibonacci in Art & Architecture


1. Look at famous buildings (e.g., The Parthenon, modern skyscrapers). Do they follow the
Golden Ratio?
2. Observe how artists and graphic designers use Fibonacci-based proportions in digital art
and design.
3. Research the use of Fibonacci in music scales and compositions.

Challenge Questions
1. Why do plants follow the Fibonacci sequence in their growth patterns?
2. How does the Fibonacci sequence relate to spirals in hurricanes and galaxies?
3. Can you find Fibonacci patterns in your surroundings? Take photos or sketches and
explain your findings.
