What does Darwin create to show connections between different species?

Learning Intentions

• We will learn about evidences that scientists have discovered since Darwin that support his theories by watching "What Darwin Never Knew" video.

• We will learn about examples in the real world of organisms that have evolved and evidences for them. 

• We will learn the purpose of a phylogenetic tree or cladogram that represent an evolutionary history

Closing Task:

You can analyze the evidences that support the theory of evolution.
