The Do Now.Let’s review.

Your challenge: build a towerWHOLE
• As a group, build the tallest freestanding tower possible– Freestanding – cannot rely
on anything else for support
• Movement: do not leave your element team’s table
• You have fifteen minutes
Getting supplies…WHOLE
When I say go...• The tallest member of your
group will come and get:1. 1 newspaper2. 1 meter of masking tape3. A scoring rubric for you to
turn in
Your challenge: build a towerCOOP
• As a group, build the tallest freestanding tower possible– Freestanding – cannot rely
on anything else for support
• Movement: do not leave your element team’s table
• You have fifteen minutes
And… time!Let’s talk about those towers.

A problem…WHOLE
1. Based on their physical features, what pairs belong together on a cladogram? 2. What pairs actually have the more recent common ancestors?
The fixWHOLE
Analogous charactersare physical characters that evolve
through convergent evolution*.
* for definition, see D8 notes
The fixWHOLE
Convergent evolution means thattwo distantly related species face similar competitive pressures
and adapt by developing structures thatperform the same function.
The fixWHOLE
Analogous features are different from homologous structuresbecause they perform the same function and are not evidence
of a shared ancestor. Therefore, the structure of analogous characters may be
different.
Wait – what was that?!WHOLE
Homologous structureSame structure, different function, evidence of common ancestor,divergent evolution
Analogous structureDifferent structure, same function, not from common ancestor,convergent evolution
Understanding rubricsWHOLE
You would receive one point for each of the following:o Including (1) an
introduction with your claim, (2) evidence/justification, (3) a conclusion that (4) explains why the topic is important or relevant
o Definition of cladogram
o Definition of phylogeny
o Explanation of specific information cladograms provide
o Description of an example
Explain how cladograms show phylogeny.
Cladograms are graphic organizers that show phylogeny, or evolutionary history. Cladograms show many species branching off over time and organize species based on their ancestral and derived characters. So a cladogram might have birds branching off after four limbs but before hair or fur. Because they do this, cladograms are imporant.

o Description of an example
Explain how cladograms show phylogeny.
Cladograms are graphic organizers that show phylogeny, or evolutionary history. Cladograms provide a hypothesis about how species evolved from a common ancestor over time by studying what features they share, which we call ancestral characters. As you move up a cladogram, or forward in time, you see more species branch off. When a species develops new characters that others do not, we call this a derived character. Because the cladograms tells us about how different traits may have evolved over time, they can tell us how closely species are evolutionarily related, which is an important theme in this unit.
