Watch the video, then students to write their own idea of what selective breeding is from the video
Give students information from slides, students then make a flow chart to show how a cow could be selectively bred for a high milk yield
Use ipads to find out about different dog breeds and why we selectively breed them
Extension: are there any other animals/plants we selectively breed and why
Plenary
As a class put the statements on the board in order to explain selective breeding of wolves
