I've got to do a project on maths in nature. My teacher has already given me some ideas i could use.. like the cells in a bee-hive are hexagonal in shape, the crystals of many substances have geometrical shapes, many things in nature are symmetrical etc.. but i need a lot more ideas.. I've posted this question in the "maths" category too, but then i thought that this would also be a good place to post it. Can u guys help me??

Have you checked out how the Fibonacci series crops up, in terms of leaves on stems, seeds in seed heads etc? What about the mathematics of reproduction, for plants and animals? What about the mathematics of special relativity - time dilation and distance contraction according to relative speed?

how villagers are able to tell the time in a particular place by looking at the shadow the sun makes in the meadows, or how are the stars in particular moving every day and making the stellar signs, something to do with astronomy and maths.
