The Magic of Nature’s Patterns

Lesson Plan - Get It!

Audio:

Nature is full of patterns if you take the time to notice them.

Patterns in nature can be as big as the changing seasons or as small as the tiniest details on a leaf. You see patterns in animals, plants, weather, and even the sky!

Here are some examples.

the stripes on a zebra or tiger

the shape of leaves and the veins running through them

weather patterns, like sunny mornings and rainy afternoons

the way the sun moves across the sky every day

Try an activity.

1. Go outside and find three examples of patterns in nature.

2. Draw what you find or describe the pattern to someone.

Now, listen to this read-along video of Patterns in Nature by Manasa Murari.
