From the University of California-Berkeley Museum of Paleontology (UCMP), this interactive learning module, developed for students in grades seven though 12, serves as "an introduction to cladistics, the most commonly used method of classification today." The module utilizes cool graphics, and a tour-like format to explore evolutionary relationships, and the diversity of life. UCMP suggests setting aside three to four class periods for students to navigate through the entire module. The site includes a helpful Teacher's Guide with sections addressing technical requirements, module navigation and trouble-shooting, and related activities and resources. The Guide also provides a suggested lesson plan for the module, online handouts, and assessment materials.
