Cladogram Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

This template is designed to visually explain evolutionary relationships and biological classification through a clear cladogram structure. It is a fully editable presentation template, compatible with PowerPoint and Google Slides.
It helps educators and students understand shared traits and evolutionary divergence. The layout presents complex biological concepts in a simple visual flow. Created for educational clarity, this template illustrates how different species branch from common ancestors based on shared characteristics. The layered design and labeled trait milestones make it easier to explain evolutionary progression, making it a reliable visual aid for teaching, learning, and academic presentations.

What’s Inside the Template

The template includes a single detailed cladogram diagram showing evolutionary branching from a common ancestor. Distinct sections represent major groups such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, rodents, and primates. Trait markers such as vertebrae, four limbs, amniotic eggs, egg shells, and hair or fur are clearly labeled along branching lines. Each group includes icons and text placeholders, allowing educators to customize classifications or adapt the diagram to different biological examples.

Key Features

• Clear cladogram structure for evolutionary relationships
• Visual branching based on shared biological traits
• Labeled evolutionary milestones for learning clarity
• Icons representing major animal groups
• Clean layered design for easy explanation
• Fully editable text, colors, and shapes

Ideal For

This template is ideal for biology teachers, students, academic presenters, and education professionals. It works well for classroom lectures, exams preparation, online learning modules, and science presentations. Researchers and trainers can also use it to simplify evolutionary concepts for non technical audiences.

Slide Highlights

The slide highlights a progressive branching pathway that visually connects organisms through shared traits. Color coded layers separate evolutionary stages, making it easy to track divergence points. The combination of icons, labels, and smooth connector lines enhances comprehension while keeping the layout visually engaging.

Compatibility & Formats

The template is fully compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides. All diagram elements are vector based and fully editable, ensuring smooth customization across platforms. It is optimized for widescreen presentations and maintains clarity when displayed digitally or printed.
