Pg 20 – 21 Going Organic
Circle the words which relate to organic farming:

factory farms Artificial

fertilizers
pesticide manure
biological control battery cages
Intensive crop rotation

pesticides

Pg 22 – 23 Changing organisms
Over thousandsof years, pigs have been bred from wild boars.
Name two characteristics that have been selected for in breeding modern
pigs.

1) __________________________________________________________________

2) __________________________________________________________________

Decide if the changes can be made by selective breeding, or if

they are changes that can be made by genetic modification.

Wheat that produces bigger Banana plants that produce a

seeds vaccine in their fruit
Rabbits that glow in the dark Wheat that cannot be killed by a
particular wheat killer
Cows that produce more milk Dogs that can run faster

Pg 24 – 25 Natural Selection
Match Darwin's Observations to his Deductions

Observation Deduction
Organisms over-produce, The ones who are best
but populations remain adapted to their
fairly constant environment are more
likely to survive and
 breed
All organisms show Well-adapted parents
variation may pass on some useful
characteristics
Some characteristics are Some offspring must die
inherited
