Students, in groups, classify furniture, share their categories and rationales, then note how their different schemes vary, perfectly logical and useful, but completely arbitrary.

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.

A lesson plan where students analyze a cladogram to understand a derived characteristics between a group of organisms. After analyzing the prepared cladogram, students create their own.

This lesson plan involves comparison of amino acids to create a phylogenetic tree of primates. Learners will also use other species information to draw conclusions about evolutionary relationships.
