Chaos can contain order. Order can contain chaos! Is chaos ever truly random? We ask students to consider:

  1. What are some things that look chaotic but actually have hidden order?
  2. What are some things that look orderly but are actually chaotic underneath?
  3. Is chaos ever truly random, or is there always some hidden order if we look closely enough?
