Students in Lee Causey’s and Stephanie Summerlin’s biology classes used various types of candy representing species to make their own cladogram. 

A cladogram is a branching diagram that shows the evolutionary relationship between species. Students gathered observable traits of the candy and organized them on a chart. They then used the chart to create a cladogram showing the relationship between ‘species’ of candy.
