A lesson plan for grade 7 Science
The purpose of this lesson is to familiarize students with the stages of human development during pregnancy.
“The history of man for the nine months preceding his birth would probably be far more interesting, and contain events of greater moment, than all the three score and ten years that follow it.” This statement, written by Samuel T. Coleridge, ties in well with the study of human development to which students are introduced during these grades. The human baby develops so dramatically from the time an egg is fertilized to the time a baby is born that one lesson cannot begin to encompass all that happens to a developing fetus during that time. However, this lesson will enhance students’ studies by providing them with the chance to explore human development using Internet resources that contain text, drawings, photos, and video about human development.
