The Fibonacci numbers are strongly related to items in nature that spiral, such as the cells on pineapples or the petals on pinecones. The number of spirals in normal specimens is always a Fibonacci number, although the number changes from species to species. Find two whole pineapples and two pinecones from different kinds of trees. Look at each item from the top and count the spirals that move clockwise. Then count the spirals that move counterclockwise. Record your results in the table below. Write a paragraph that summarizes your findings.
