Chasing after Caminalcules

Classification, Evolution, and the Scientific Method

Evaluation

During the activity, students develop several products that can be used as evaluation tools:

Products for Evaluation

  • The taxonomic classification
  • The phylogenetic tree
  • The poster resulting from the challenge

Participation

As several discussions will take place in some sessions, you could also mark the significant/non-significant participations of your students.

Developing a Rubric

Even if the properties each product should present are described in the Your Mission section, you are strongly recommended to develop a rubric together with your students.

At the end of the activity, each team could qualify the work of the other teams by using this rubric.
