YOUR
TASKS:
1)
|
You
are going to become a Fibonacci detective and go on a Quest to
uncover the mystery and secrets of the Fibonacci
sequence.
Step by step you will find out who started it all, and explore the
many ways that the Fibonacci sequence
is found in nature, art, music, architecture, and human
anatomy.
Sometimes
you will learn alone, and sometimes you will work in a small
group.
At each step, you will post your findings and observations on the
class' Fibonacci
Blog. In order to fully participate in this unit,
you will also respond to fellow students on the blog.
You will receive an email from me to register for this
blog. Sign up and get started!

| 2) |
By
completing all the components of this Webquest and lesson, you will
investigate and explore patterns in music, math, science and nature
as they relate to the Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Rectangle.
You will apply this knowledge to one of four final
projects. |
| 3) |
Start
your journey by learning about Leonardo de Pisa, then click on
all tabs until you reach the Conclusion page. |
| 4) |
At
the end of the Webquest the class will review a Fibonacci Powerpoint
presentation that explains the golden rectangle or golden ratio, and
then break into groups to complete your final
Task.
Your group will assign roles/jobs and complete a measuring
experiment to demonstrate that
you can apply the Fibonacci sequence and/or golden rectangle/ratio
to the assignment.
