Description
Help bring biological classification to life with this web-interactive activity. Ideally suited as a lab or cooperative learning strategy, this activity helps connect the dots in a student's mind as to how classification began and how it operates. Once students begin seeing the patterns utilized in classifying living things, they will begin to actually think in these terms, and gain a whole new perspective in the process!

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.
NGSSHS-LS4-4
Construct an explanation based on evidence for how natural selection leads to adaptation of populations. Emphasis is on using data to provide evidence for how specific biotic and abiotic differences in ecosystems (such as ranges of seasonal temperature, long-term climate change, acidity, light, geographic barriers, or evolution of other organisms) contribute to a change in gene frequency over time, leading to adaptation of populations.
