Description

Are your students in need of a practice claim, evidence, and reasoning to help them understand artificial selection and selective breeding? Look no further!

Included:

  • Student Worksheet with Background Information
  • 3 Answer Keys

Information

The prompt for this practice CER asks students whether they believe artificial selection is beneficial, harmful, or neutral. They are given a couple short paragraphs about the history of selecting breeding as well as some examples of extinctions due to selective breeding.

Three separate answer keys are provided to check the students' responses. Students have enough evidence to support three answers -- artificial selection is beneficial, harmful, or neutral.

Notes

NGSSMS-LS4-5
Gather and synthesize information about technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms. Emphasis is on synthesizing information from reliable sources about the influence of humans on genetic outcomes in artificial selection (such as genetic modification, animal husbandry, gene therapy); and, on the impacts these technologies have on society as well as the technologies leading to these scientific discoveries.
NGSSMS-LS4-4
Construct an explanation based on evidence that describes how genetic variations of traits in a population increase some individuals’ probability of surviving and reproducing in a specific environment. Emphasis is on using simple probability statements and proportional reasoning to construct explanations.
