Timeline Reflection:
Overall, I think this project went well. I think our presentation turned out well and was easy to understand, but there was some more facts that we could have searched for to find and add. I learned that graduates of prestigious colleges often publish things that you can look at to help you understand concepts. I found a .pdf that talked about climate in Antarctica during times I needed to know about. I also learned that I work well with someone who wants to get work done. I could have been more focused on creating this timeline, and I could try to look harder for more information on a topic that is not super well researched. This can be shown through the somewhat low amount of facts in our slides.

Evidence of Work
For this project my team and I sorted pieces of hardware into groups by looking at their characteristics. Then we created a timeline by writing down who was the “common ancestor” and who evolved from whom. We described certain traits that made groups different from past ones. Finally, we made a story describing why each species evolved from the last and what life was like for them with predators and prey.
Eliam was one of three other members of my group and since I am experiencing many different problems uploading, if you click the link below and look at his cladogram slideshow and story you can see what we collaborated on.

Content
Natural Selection = Organisms evolve through variation and mutation, competition, survival and then reproduction
Genetic Variation = Random variation of traits and genes in a population
Allopatric Speciation = One species splits and becomes two because the original population was separated
Sympatric Speciation = A species splits and becomes two in a common area
Reproductive Isolation = Two species in the same area that produce infertile offspring if they breed, or just cannot produce offspring at all
Geographic Isolation = Species cannot reproduce because of separation by physical barrier
Temporal Isolation = Species cannot breed because of different mating times
Founders Effect = Portion of original population goes to different area and develops into a new species
These concepts helped us explain the different ways the species could evolve and change.
Reflection
In our cladogram, I thought our story was super well thought out, but that creative thinking could have gone into making our cladogram’s grouping more specific. I learned that group work is difficult, and I also learned that you have to agree with your partners because people have different ideas about how something should turn out. I will continue to stay more focused in class and revise our work to make it better.
