Description
Learn how to build and evaluate cladograms!
This 2-page document introduces characteristic similarities and how they translate into a cladogram illustration.
- Students count X's to observe that more complex organisms fall later on the cladogram timeline.
- Once recording the species in the correct order, they evaluate the relationships between organisms.
- Branched cladograms are evaluated to see closer and more distant ancestry.
- Lastly, students use provided species profiles to create and reflect on their own cladogram.
Check out the Hominid Lab for a deeper understanding of change over time (evolution) which can also create a Cladogram on human ancestors.
Enjoy!

Great in giving an overview of cladograms! My students found it easy to use.
Fun activity and my students loved it!

NGSSHS-LS4-1
Communicate scientific information that common ancestry and biological evolution are supported by multiple lines of empirical evidence. Emphasis is on a conceptual understanding of the role each line of evidence has relating to common ancestry and biological evolution. Examples of evidence could include similarities in DNA sequences, anatomical structures, and order of appearance of structures in embryological development.
