Description

Phylogenetic Trees activity guide for the All In The Family' free online interactive. This resources is designed to be a learning guide and response sheet for students as they complete the activity. Students are led to create, and read, phylogenetic trees.

Check it out and be sure your school's computers are compatible with All In The Family!

Print and go! Perfect for a sub.

The activity presents three groups of organisms for students to arrange into three phylogenetic trees based on their evolutionary relationships. Students must explore the provided evidence to guide their decisions as they construct the trees, such as compared anatomy and DNA sequences.

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.

A full answer key is included!

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.
