Exit Slip: Revisiting Our Spots & 'Geometrizing' Leaves


You never know who'll be there with you on your journey!  I met this little fella when we went back to 'our spots' and it made me think about how big the world is compared to this little slug.  Made me feel how big the world is compared to me.  
You can see another tiny slug near those chomped up clovers.  

During this activity, we were getting a better sense of the geometry behind leaves.  I tried to encase the segments of this leaf within a circle (I should've used a flatter surface to make those lines more defined) and then the entire leaf within a bigger circle to include the petiole.  Next time, I'd like to fill in the negative space with more circles of similar diameter and then possibly fill in the gaps in between these circles, and so on until very little, visible space is left.  Maybe I could use parts of the clover leaf to help me get an idea of what size circle can fill in the negative space.
