Fractals are like patterns that repeat themselves, like when you look at a tree and see smaller trees on its branches, and even tinier ones on those. This happens in nature because things grow by following the same rule over and over again, it’s like a never-ending drawing! Fractals can be found in snowflakes, fern leaves, and even lightning.
Examples
- A snowflake looks the same whether you look at it from far away or up close.
- The veins on a leaf create a pattern that repeats itself smaller and smaller.
- A fern’s leaves are shaped like little copies of the whole plant.
