Classification, Evolution, and the Scientific Method

Poster Session

As real scientists do, you have to present the results you have obtained in your challenge in a Scientific Congress, where a Poster Session will take place.

Task 1: Building your poster

You will prepare a Scientific Poster from these data. The data obtained in previous steps (taxonomy, phylogeny, ...) should also appear in some manner in your poster, to help you justify your conclusions.

Download a template for your Scientific poster.

Task 2: Poster Session

During the session, you'll answer to the questions your mates or your teacher ask to you. You have also to take a look at the posters of other teams and ask them about.

Some questions you could do: How did you discover that...? Why do you say that...? Which is the difference between...?

Task 3: Workshop

Print the images of all the Challenges and put it in the center of a table. Compare it with the complete phylogenetic tree, and try to fit it there. Are the phylogenetic relationships different to those proposed in your posters? Why? Did you discover something strange during your research with your Challenges? Are all you agree with this? What should happen with the data from the initial Phylogenetic tree?
