Ensi: Comparison of Human: Chimpanzee Chromosomes Lesson
This is a great lesson plan that combines Karoytypes and evolution. Young scholars will recognize that the chromosomes of chimpanzees and humans are remarkably similar, then correlate that to their evolutionary relationship.

Understanding Evolution: Lines of Evidence: The Science of Evolution
Evolution can be supported by the lines of evidence which are presented in this resource. Recognize these lines: fossil evidence, homologies, distribution in time and space, and evidence by example.

Ensi: Blocks and Screws Lesson Plan
The Evolution and the Nature of Science Institute offers lesson plans that investigate the vestigial organs in such a way as to better explain their imperfections as proof of evolution rather than the result of "intelligent design."

Nhm: Amino Acid Sequences Show Evolution
This lesson plan focuses on differences in the amino acid sequence of hemoglobin and myoglobin proteins. They use the number of differences to create a phylogenetic tree.
National Health Museum
Access Excellence: Molecular Biology/primate Phylogeny
This lesson plan involves comparison of amino acids to create a phylogenetic tree of primates. Young scholars will also use other species information to draw conclusions about evolutionary relationships.

Access Excellence: Making a Phylogenetic Tree Lesson Plan
Constructing phylogenetic trees may be a daunting task for students, but this lesson plan is a simulation of what molecular biologists must do to determine relationships. This plan is for students who have a good grasp of DNA structure...

Nhm: Restriction Maps to Cladograms Lesson
This lesson plan requires young scholars to analyze DNA restriction maps to determine the differences in the sequence for several primates and humans. They then use the information to create a cladogram.
