An evolutionary tree is like a family tree

All of Life is part of one big family that began when the first cell started its life in a primordial pond almost 4 billion years ago.
![Page 24: Tree Thinking Demo](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051411/545b4905af795953128b5775/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
All of the species alive today are cousins on the 3.8 billion year old tree of life

We use DNA to figure out where species belong on this tree

This game lets you solve a puzzle, putting animals in their spot on the tree of life

DNA Animal 1
DNA Animal 2
When you drag an animal around, hover it over the species on the tree to see how much its DNA matches
95%

Eventually this game will be a lot fancier
Which new branch does the elephant go on?

…With a tutorial and fun facts about each animal
ORCA Orcinus orca
The orca, more commonly known as the killer whale, is the largest member of the dolphin family. The largest orcas grow almost as long as a school bus. Orcas are found throughout the world’s oceans, and swim in large family groups called “pods.” Members of each pod communicate in dialects of clicks and whistles that are unique to that group. FUN FACT: Orcas can live as long as the average human!

Proposed levels:
Level 1: (Broad evolutionary relationships) e.g, Humans, sea anemone, house fly, tree, seaweed, fungus, bacterium Level 2: (Animals) e.g, Humans, orcas, cow, elephant, opossum, alligator, coelacanth, trout Level 3: (Canids) Fox, wolf, Chinese Shar-Pei, chow chow, basenji, Siberian husky, Afghan hound, chihuahua, boxer Level 4: (Solve a societal problem) e.g, Figure out which contemporary influenza virus is most similar to the Spanish flu of 1918 (using RNA similarity)

Proposed 15-30 second long educational modules:
1) What's this game about? 2) What is DNA? 3) How do scientists collect these DNA “fingerprints”? 4) How does the game work? 5) How closely related are these two animals? 6) What does the percentage mean?

Within every one of the trillions of cells that make up your body lies a small molecule called DNA.

When the cells of our bodies multiply as we grow and have children, the DNA gets copied along with it.
![Page 44: Tree Thinking Demo](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051411/545b4905af795953128b5775/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Sometimes there is a little glitch in the copying process, and one of the letters of the DNA alphabet gets switched to another.
![Page 45: Tree Thinking Demo](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051411/545b4905af795953128b5775/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Sometimes there is a little glitch in the copying process, and one of the letters of the DNA alphabet gets switched to another.
These mistakes are called mutations!

As the tree of life grew and divided into many diverse species
![Page 47: Tree Thinking Demo](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051411/545b4905af795953128b5775/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
As the tree of life grew and divided into many diverse species, each had its own unique sets of mutations which they passed on to their children.
![Page 48: Tree Thinking Demo](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051411/545b4905af795953128b5775/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
These mutations are like "fingerprints" in the genetic code
![Page 49: Tree Thinking Demo](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051411/545b4905af795953128b5775/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
These mutations are like "fingerprints" in the genetic code, and let us find where a creature belongs on the tree of life compared to its relatives.
