Topic

An interesting lesson today especially for any animal lovers! Can you find out the difference between natural selection and artificial selection (selective breeding) – see the resources below. You could also watch the BBC video to help you understand: What is selective breeding? - BBC Teach.

 

Look at images of mixed breed dogs to see which features they have inherited from their parent breeds (see resources below). Investigate Puggles, Schnoodles, Chuskys, Labradoodles, Cockerpoos and Dorgis. Consider whether creating artificial evolution is the right thing to do and express your opinions.

 

As an extension activity, can you imagine a new species of dog? What features would you mix and what would it create?
