Selective breeding has resulted in some novel and beautiful or useful dogs over the years. Using the American Foxhound as an example, genetics learners find out how and why they came about. Then, in small groups, they select breeds to...

Students of biology should find this powerpoint interesting as it recaps the basics of classification and Latin and common names of familiar farm animals. The slides are clear, not loaded with text, and lead the students through the...

Biology learners read about selective breeding in chickens and how it has produced high-yield meat specimens and rapid egg-layers. The unpleasant effects of artificial selection are explored, as well as options to supporting this...

Combining traits of different animals can result in new breeds. This set of slides supports you as you teach selective breeding as part or a genetics or evolution unit. Chickens are the highlighted example. Traits to consider are the...

The living environment, from the interior of a cell to the complex relationships among populations, are queried in this final examination. Learners look at air pollution maps, diagrams of cells, population graphs, and drawing of cells....

The 2005 version of the Regents High School Examination in the area of ecology is as comprehensive as previous years' exams. It consists of 40 multiple choice questions on everything from the structure of DNA to the interactions within...

Tne New York Regents High School Examinations are comprehensive and include various styles of questions, includingmultiple choice and the analysis of graphs. This particular version, the 2008 Living Environment exam surveys a variety of...

Students examine how cattle have evolved through natural selection and selective breeding.  In this natural selection activity students compare and contrast natural and artificial selection.

Students examine the practice and implications of selective breeding of animals. For this selective breeding lesson, students look at how animals have been selectively breed for human purposes. They analyze the morals and ethics of the...

Students evaluate the traits that made cattle ideal for human domestication. For this selective breeding lesson, students consider the advantages and disadvantages of domestication of several species. They watch video clips and view...
