This activity models selective breeding in cows. Following simple genetic rules, a herd of cows (in picture form!) are change from being a mixture of colours to all being brown. Students then use the selective breeding rules to produce their own selective breeding example. This is followed up by identifying the differences between selective breeding in dogs and natural selection in giraffes.
The activity was written with foundation students in mind but it works just as well with more able students.
