B.O.S.S!

B.O.S.S!!!  No, I'm not talking about the teachers here, I'm talking about pattern types!
B - Beauty
O - Order
S - Strength
S - Survivability
If you're wondering what they mean, I'll tell you... 
Beauty means that the patterns are beautiful to look at.  An example might be like how the sand ripples at a beach. Order means the pattern keeps things in a particular order.  An example is like a flight schedule at the airport, which will repeat again the next day. A pattern of strength would be the Sydney Harbour Bridge with it's cables and triangles. Last but not least, a pattern of survivability would be an owl butterfly. It is so clever that the pattern on it's wings looks like an owl so that when a predator comes along it will think it is a big owl and leave the butterfly alone!
