THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE

The Fibonacci sequence was discovered by Leonardo Fibonacci. He discovered the sequence when he was looking at how different generations of rabbits breed.

WHERE IT CAN BE FOUND

• The fibonacci sequence can be found in every living cell
• It can be found in things like;
• Flowers, pinecones
• Apples, bananas,
• Fingers, arms,

To find the next number in the sequence, you add the the two previous numbers before the number.
0+1=1
1+1=2
1+2=3

This is how the sequence works

Fact
When you take to consecutive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence their ratio is very close to the golden ratio, which is about 1.618034...

Some numbers in the sequence; 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55

The Fibonacci sequence was found by Leonardo of Pisa or Leonardo Fibonacci. He discovered the sequence while in Liber abaci. He was looking at their rabbit population.

1 petal – white calla lily
2 petals - euphorbia
3 petals- iris & lily
5 petals - buttercup, wild rose, larkspur, columbine
8 petals - delphiniums
13 petals - ragwort, corn marigold, cineraria, black-eyed Susan
21 petals – Shasta daisy, aster, chicory
34 petals – field daisies, plantain, pyrethrum
55 or 89 petals - michelmas daisies, the asteraceae family

The Fibonacci sequence is also used in music and art. One instrument that is well known for the Fibonacci sequence is the piano.
A piano keyboard has 8 white keys, 5 black keys in groups of 2 and 3. These 13 keys make one octave.
