This resource helps hold students accountable by asking them to record the observations they make, as well as their phylogenetic trees. There are also a few questions that help gauge their understanding of how to read the tree.

It is important that students have a working knowledge of phylogenetic trees before they do this activity. They will be asked to read the trees they have created and identify the location of common ancestors.
