Evolution & Phylogenetic Analysis: Classroom Activities for Investigating Molecular & Morphological Concepts
Franklin, Wilfred A.
American Biology Teacher, v72 n2 p114-121 Feb 2010
In a flexible multisession laboratory, students investigate concepts of phylogenetic analysis at both the molecular and the morphological level. Students finish by conducting their own analysis on a collection of skeletons representing the major phyla of vertebrates, a collection of primate skulls, or a collection of hominid skulls.
