Fractal Forest

Fractals can be quite a lot of fun.  They often encourage students to explore patterns and create their own patterns.  They are fit for STEAM.  
Each week I have the sixth grade for a period called Problem Solving.  We have been working on fractals....both two dimensional and three dimentional.   Here is my board after we tried to make fractal trees.
Here is a picture of a Brocoflower...one of my students brought it in to share.  It was found at the local farmers market.  We fiddled with this  guy so much in class I decided not to eat it.  Seems a great combination...broccoli and coliflower?
