=====================
Michaela Strachan introduces the concept of inherited characteristics in beagle puppies, demonstrating that beagles produce offspring that are not identical to their parents. A dog breeder explains selective breeding, looking at puppies that have useful and less useful traits. Michaela explains how artificial selection is also used in vegetables, showing how broccoli, sprouts and cauliflower all originate from a wild cabbage called Colewort.
This clip is from the BBC series Evolutionwatch, in which Michaela Strachan and Martin Hughes-Games unpack the science of evolution.

Teaching Science or Biology?
Start a discussion on artificial selection – which dog would you breed from and why? Which dogs would you breed in order to create a dog that can run fast and track a smell? Pupils could look at photos of their own family or a famous family, such as the royal family, to identify family traits.
This clip will be relevant for teaching Primary Science, particularly on the topic of animals and evolution.
