Intro
For this project we were instructed to get into groups of four and make a cladogram out of a random group of hardware. Along with a cladogram poster we would also need to include a Latin name for each item and a story to go along with each item. At the end of this project we would need to present all the different parts of the project.
We started by sorting the hardware into the groups that we wanted to be able to make the cladogram. After we had put together our entire poster we started putting together the Latin names. After we had all the names we put a animal domain and story with each name.
Original Draft
This is the first draft that we came up with for our cladogram. After we had developed this we realized that we wanted it set up differently so we made a new draft and grouped them differently.
2nd Draft
This is the final version that was created after first version. After we laid out all the hardware onto our cladogram poster we then labeled each one with the Latin name.
2nd Draft with Latin Names
Biology Concepts
Evolution~the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth. Evolution is used to show the timeline of an animal.
Common ancestor~the most recent ancestral form or species from which two different species evolved. This helps to show the relationship between different animals.
Cladogram~a branching diagram showing the cladistic relationship between a number of species. Cladograms show a different way to find the timeline of a certain animal.

Reflection
This project was very informing as far as learning about how cladograms work. As a group I think we could have done a better job about organization. Our project time could have been minimized had we have planned it. Personally I could have been better about I think we excelled at the way we put together the information on our project. Personally I think I did well at listening at other people’s ideas during the process of our project. This project truly did help with my understanding of a cladogram.
