Students will take notes on major traits of the organisms, and note how they are similar and dissimilar.  They will then use their observations to build phylogenetic trees – visual hypotheses about how the organisms might be related evolutionarily.  Students will present their trees to the rest of the class (requires the entire 2.5 hour period if taught as a lab, or two separate hour-long sessions if taught as an in-school).
