Patterns are like the building blocks of everything, and they show up everywhere because things tend to repeat. Think about how a snowflake looks: it has six sides, just like the shape of a honeycomb, or even the rings on a tree trunk! These patterns happen when tiny parts of something grow or move in similar ways.
Examples
- Snowflakes are like tiny crystals that grow in perfect six-sided shapes.
- A spider web looks the same from one part to another, showing a repeating pattern.
- Stripes on a zebra are created by small cells acting in the same way.
