It's All About What's Inside. Classification and the Tree of Life [Pdf]

Curated by ACT

In this science activity, students look at how animals have traditionally been classified in a tree of life diagram by examining the characteristics of plastic eggs. They then analyze the genetic code assigned for each egg and look for relationships between the eggs, compare the new scheme with the previous one, and hypothesize evolutionary events that may have taken place along the way.
