What Is a Cladogram Maker?

What Is a Cladogram Maker?
A cladogram maker is a tool designed to help you create evolutionary trees that illustrate the relationships among organisms. These diagrams, known as cladograms, can be based on similar phenotypes, physical traits, or DNA sequences. Whether you’re studying evolutionary biology, teaching classification, or researching genetic relationships, a cladogram maker simplifies the process of visualizing and analyzing these connections. It’s an essential tool for educators, researchers, and students looking to explore and communicate evolutionary relationships effectively.

How to Create a Cladogram in Your Classroom?

  1. Open and share the Creately workspace

Log in to Creately and create a new workspace for your class. Assign each group their own folder or workspace and share access via email or link.

  1. Collect and organize data in Creately

Ask each group to gather data on organisms (morphological features, DNA sequences, etc.). Use Creately’s tables or sticky notes to list ancestral and derived characteristics.

  1. Identify characters and states collaboratively

Guide groups to mark out ancestral traits for the outgroup and derived traits for the ingroup. They can format the data directly in the workspace using text boxes, tables, or color coding.

  1. Create the cladogram

Students can pick a cladogram template from Creately’s library or start with a blank canvas. They can drag and drop shapes, draw connections, add images, and customize the diagram to show evolutionary relationships.

  1. Collaborate, present, and revise

Each group adds notes or sticky annotations to explain their reasoning. They can present cladograms directly in Creately using frames and color themes. Encourage feedback through comments, then update and refine the diagrams together.
