Introduction-
The cladogram project taught me about the way species evolve and how they are classified. We organized hardware into specific groups and created a story on their evolution. Using taxonomy and our knowledge of evolution, we were able to come up with an entire history of the hardware, and classify them into different levels of taxonomy.
Concepts-
Taxonomy: the branch of science using classification, composed of eight groups, each one smaller and more specific than the one before: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species
Evolution: when different kinds of living organisms have developed and diversified from earlier forms from the beginning of the earth.
Natural Selection: where organisms are better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
Artificial Selection: the intentional reproduction of individuals in a population that have desirable traits. In organisms that reproduce sexually, two adults that possess a desired trait are bred together.

Reflection-
during this project, i excelled at somethings and struggle during with others. one thing i did well was time management. I finished each part of the project in a timely fashion and even was ahead during the story writing portion. My group and I both played into how we excelled at time management but it was definitely a peak in the project. Another peak was my ability in communication. My group could bounce ideas off of each other and i was able to voice my ideas. This allowed us to make a great project and we bettered each other by communicating. However, not everything was done well. One issue I had was leadership. Although I have gotten better, I still am not a confident leader. Even though I learned to voice my ideas, I still struggle in being firm with them, which is a setback. Another problem was my inability to keep completely focused. I would stray from my group or get caught up in a conversation. To fix this in the future I will set goals of what I need to accomplish and try to stick to them. Overall, this was a good project and a great learning experience for not only evolution, but also for my own work characteristics.
