We've got to do a project on maths in nature... Our teacher has already given us a few ideas we could use.. for example, the cells in a bee-hive are hexagonal in shape, many things in nature are symmetical, crystals of many substances have geometrical shapes etc... But I need many more ideas to work on too.. can anybody here help???

Cut he nautilus shell in half (so you get two symmetrical pieces) and you'll see the inside has a perfect golden (logarithmic) spiral.

Turn off the computer. Go outside. Lay a blanket on the grass. Lie on it. Look around. Brainstorm. Use your own ideas. Even the size of grass or the way bark on trees.....is math in nature.
But you won't find it inside the house on the computer. Get to work.

Well, I think Oracle is talking about The Divine Proportion, and not fibonacci series. Also known as Phi, the mathematical value is 1.618. It is connected to the fibonacci series. This is best explained by the following website http://evolutionoftruth.com/goldensection/index.htm
