Chernoff Faces

I learned a lot from doing the Chernoff faces. It was really interesting to see how quickly everyone's faces changed and no one had the exact same looking face. This is the same as classification of living things because everything starts off in the same general group, but after breaking the groups down into specific categories everything becomes separated. After we drew our faces we grouped up into different categories based on our preferences. I liked seeing people that are similar to me and that liked the same things as me. We grouped up based on where we lived, or majors, and our favorite type of food.
I enjoyed doing this activity and think it would be great to use in a classroom for kids to understand classification. I liked how the categories were based on things we liked because I think that would keep kids interested and having fun.
