Final video in a three part series on Fibonacci numbers and being a plant. This video explains exceptions to the Fibonacci series, why you may find them, and how they work. There is a short discussion of plant hormones and growth, and this illustrates the unity of knowledge in math, physics, and biology (a learning objective in most CLSE courses). The comments and questions...

In this activity, a visual model of the reactions of photosynthesis (and to a lesser extent, respiration) is provided to students. Students evaluate the model in groups, and subsequently use it to answer questions about the model as presented, as well as the results of perturbations to the pathways indicated in the model. These ?perturbation? questions require students to step back and ana...

This is video two in a three video series. This video continues from the introduction to describe how plants have their leaves in certain arrangements, and how this relates to the Fibonacci series. It is a good video to illustrate the unity of knowledge in math and science, as well as exhibiting the unity and diversity of life (both of these are related to course learning objectives in all CLSE...

Online video lecture about Fibonacci numbers and their link to plants. This is part 1 of 3 total parts. This first video is an introduction to spirals (there are three types)a nd wher eyou find each in nature. The narrator shows you how to draw spirals, then links this to the Fibonacci series. The comments and questions below the video on the site are useful for follow up and to...
