The banana we eat, the Cavendish, is the result of artificial selection. Seventh graders understand that species can change from three different forms of selection: natural, sexual, and artificial.

Corn is also pretty handy for human dining. Was it designed to be easy to grasp? A lovely yellow for the eyes, and plenty of fiber for your intestine?
Modern corn is the descendent of teosinte, a grass found in Central America.
