 Directions:  Work with a partner.  Read the scenario.  Each partner should have a paper labeled with the above heading, name, date, block  Work together to list the symptoms decide what is wrong with the person in the scenario.  Use may use The Developing Child textbook to back up your diagnosis.

What could be wrong with me? I need your help to diagnose my problem.

 Directions:  Class will be arranged into nine groups.  Each group will receive one case study strip.  Each group will read the case study (table tent) together to decide which month of the pregnancy is described.  Be ready to share your response.

 Materials:  Construction paper  Ruler  Scale  Colored Pencils  PowerPoint Notes  Directions:  Use materials to create a size chart of the growth of the fetus each month  You should chart it on paper, month by month and beside each month measure the size. Look for teachers example.

 Directions:  Use teacher’s example to create a fun way to remember the 9 months of pregnancy for Baby and Mother.  Materials:  Index cards  Colored pencils  Teachers Mnemonic I will post on document camera

 Directions:  Look on the board for Brain Pop username and password.  Go to website  Login  Click: Health Genetics, Growth & Development Fetal Development  Complete the following in this order: 1. Watch video 2. Quiz 3. Activities 4. Q&A 5. FYI  You will need to turn in evidence of Brain Pop use. One paper per group

 Directions:  Complete MiTiReLa 3.02 Learning Mode.  Record score after clicking daily progress.  Teacher will need to see and sign off on your MiTiReLa paper.

 Directions:  Close eyes and put heads down on desks.  I will describe each month of pregnancy.  You will hold up the # of fingers corresponding to the month of pregnancy that is described.  Teacher will rotate around the room and touch student’s hand if incorrect.  If hand is touched you will know you need to try again!  If hand is not touched, leaved your fingers up until the next description is called out.  Test may consists of 9-18 questions.
