Students develop a matrix to determine the number of differences between each set of primate species. They determine closely related organisms then complete the cladogram and answer a set of questions.

Students build a Colossal Classroom Cladogram of vertebrate evolution. After putting it together, they show the gradual, mosaic accumulation of the traits which we, as humans, possess.

Students construct cladograms (evolutionary trees), showing how shared derived characters can be used to reveal degrees of relationship. They interpret and analyze cladograms, and determine where unclassified vertebrates would fit on a cladogram.

Students explore cladistics and create a cladogram of their own. They are shown how the scientist at the American Museum of Natural History use a method called cladistics to group animals. Students are asked how the animals (lion, elephant, zebra, knagaroo, koala, buffalo, raccoon, and alligator) are related and what might be a good way of grouping them.

Students transfer examples (names) of primates from their location in an outline hierarchy of primate groups into a set of nested boxes reflecting that same hierarchy. A cladogram can then be drawn illustrating how these groups are related in an evolution

Students explore how the grouping of organisms based on their shared derived characters forms the basis of a cladogram.

Students are introduced to the types of vertebrates living in Connecticut. After taking a field trip to the Yale Peabody Museum, they organize the animals based on their Phylum, Order and Suborder. In groups, they research specific organisms to discover their similiarities and differences to other organisms. To end the lesson, they develop a poster showing a cladogram.

Students compare differences in amino acids in the beta hemoglobin from representative primates, complete a matrix of those differences, and from these data, construct and interpret cladograms as they reflect relationships and timing of divergence.

Students examine the techniques geneticists use to determine similarities and differences among various life forms by forming a phylogenetic tree. Students devise a method of dividing a group of their peers into two smaller groups based on one characteristic. Each smaller group is divided into sub groups until each student is their own "group." This technique is related to genetics.

“Lesson Planet is a wonderful resource. My students are mostly LD and I don't use the textbook that much. I can always find great lesson plans and activities on Lesson Planet! I really don't know what I would do without it!”
