The Tree of Life

For Biology: Go to the Tree of Life. This website is a wiki, designed to be all-encompassing for all of life, with pictures and text on every species.

Click on the tree on the front page, or go to “Root of the Tree”, and follow the links for awhile, simply exploring. Each page is constructed as a branching cladogram.

Pick a clade and read about it. Write down the clade's name and a short summary of what you learned. Be sure the summary is in your own words and not copying from the website. Remember, other than scientific words, you may not have more than two words in a row the same as the website.

Be sure to include the full source site, including url, Title of the website, Title of the page, date it was written (if mentioned), and the date you accessed it.
