Students will learn about human embryo development and birth defects. They will research the stages of embryo development and learn how defects can occur if development goes wrong. Specifically, the teacher will present on neural tube defects and their relationship to embryo development. Then students will research other birth defects in groups and present to the class. The goal is for students to understand development, what can go wrong, and how some defects can be prevented.

The document summarizes discussions from two roundtable meetings between experts in child development research and teacher education. Key points discussed include:
1) Current teacher education programs do not adequately teach teachers how to apply child development research principles in the classroom.
2) Translating research into practical strategies for teachers is challenging but necessary to improve instruction.
3) Supporting teachers with more time in field placements and residency programs would help them gain experience applying developmental science.
4) Disseminating research findings in accessible formats for teachers and establishing standards could strengthen the connection between research and practice.

The use of screen based media use (SBMU) has seen a steady increase over the years. Research conducted by American, Australian, and Canadian Health departments have cited concerns on the increasing use of SBMU in children, more specifically children under the age of two. It is recommended by many health professionals that children limit their exposure to SBMU to two hour or less per day. However, today this is proving more challenging as SBMU is not just on television, it is a part of schools, afterschool activities, and at each child’s fingertips with the advancements in smartphones.
Healthcare experts warnings about SBMU have not been heeded. To the contrary, children today, even after the recommendations have been put out, are using SBMU more then ever. For example, over a ten-year period SBMU data was collected on children and the findings showed in increase in screen viewing of all types from 3 hours and 45 minutes to 4 hours and 30 minutes. Other studies from the USA, UK, and Canada, show a similar trend regarding SBMU and children. All three countries have conducted research targeting the percentage of children who accede the two-hour SBMU recommended threshold. In all three countries the research clearly showed that over 50 percent of the children studied regularly used some form of screen-based media more then the recommended two hours.

This document discusses child development and provides information from the Harvard University Child Development Center website. It outlines that a child's brain develops rapidly in the first two years of life and is influenced by their emotional and physical environment. Early interactions directly affect how the brain is wired and early relationships set a child's stress response. This underscores the importance of supporting mothers and fathers during pregnancy and a child's first years. The Harvard Center draws on resources from Harvard to improve child outcomes worldwide. It encourages exploring their website for information on early childhood development and health.

DESCRIPTION
Given higher rates of sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy among African-American and Latino teens in the United States, we have found that there is a need for better sexual and reproductive health education in these communities. this audience is clearly in need of sexual/reproductive health education. Since technology is already a significant part of the lives of adolescents, youth-serving professionals must determine the best ways to use it to advance the aim of improving the sexual health. A digital intervention created by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America is among the first to attempt using both theory and research to inform its development on reaching African-American and Latin@ youth. This workshop will describe the development of the tools, explain likely outcomes for youth, and facilitate a conversation with participants about how they can make use of the tools in their own work.

ECE 205 CHILD DEVELOPMENT
WEEK ONE INSTRUCTOR GUIDANCE
Pat Yourself on the Back for starting
this course!
“When dealing with children there is greater need for observing than of probing.”
-Maria Montessori
Overview of the Learning Week
Welcome to ECE 205: Child Development. In this course you will become familiar with the influences on child
development by gaining a better understanding of why studying child development is important. You will be
discussing the major theorists and their theories, as well as identifying the developmental ages and stages
associated with each. In the Week One guidance, Chapters 1 and 3 will be examined.
Think about your chosen profession.
Are you familiar with the ages, stages, and milestones of child development?
Do you know how to work with children of all developing stages?
Do you understand developmentally appropriate practices in relation to a child’s age and
developmental stage?
http://www.dailymontessori.com/montessori-theory/
In your profession, you will help children, families, and colleagues better understand child development by
empowering them with ways to reach children at their developmental stage that will help with motor,
cognitive, communication, social-emotional, and self-help skills.
This week you will begin by examining your own personal beliefs about child development. You will be asked
to think back to when you were a child and remember things that contributed to your development. You will
also decide why understanding child development and the study of child development is important in your
chosen profession. Developmental theories will also be examined.
Instructor Expertise
You may be asking why the study of child development is so important. You, as someone working with
children, play a huge role and have a great impact on each child by providing appropriate experiences,
support, and direction child so they reach their optimum developmental level.
What is Child Development and Why Study It?
In 1976, Gene R. Medinnus determined in his Child Study and Observation Guide that there are four principal
reasons for studying children. They are:
1. Having a natural curiosity about human development
2. Needing assistance in guiding children’s development
3. Wanting to better predict behavior
4. Pursuing an interest in understanding one’s own actions. (Groark, McCarthy, & Kirk, 2014).
Because so many children each day are in some type of childcare center, early childhood classroom, or clinic, it
is vital that caregivers provide appropriate support. Professionals working with young children have the
opportunity to impact all aspects of child development while they are in contact with these children.
According to our course text, “it is essential to understand typical human development because that
understanding assists child caregivers in predicting how a child will learn and progress in developmenta ...
The number of students receiving special education services in the United States has never been greater, representing about 8% of school-aged children. Classroom teachers play a central role in identifying children who need special assistance, as they see a large number of students and can more easily recognize those at risk. The first step is for teachers to informally screen students and collect work samples and observations. If interventions by the teacher and Instructional Support Team are ineffective, a formal referral is made for diagnostic assessment by a multidisciplinary team and development of an Individualized Education Program to aid the student.

This document outlines a capstone project for incorporating bioethics into a high school science classroom. It includes objectives such as having students work in groups to complete authentic tasks on various bioethical issues. Examples of projects described are having students take on roles related to the Tuskegee Syphilis study and complete a genetics counseling case study. Throughout the year, students would keep an ethics journal to reflect on science articles addressing ethical issues. The goal is for students to see science as a human endeavor subject to biases and personal values.
Here are some potential questions on increasing disciplinary reading:

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Early interactions directly affect how the brain is wired and early relationships set a child's stress response. This underscores the importance of supporting mothers and fathers during pregnancy and a child's first years. The Harvard Center draws on resources from Harvard to improve child outcomes worldwide. It encourages exploring their website for information on early childhood development and health.

DESCRIPTION
Given higher rates of sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy among African-American and Latino teens in the United States, we have found that there is a need for better sexual and reproductive health education in these communities. this audience is clearly in need of sexual/reproductive health education. Since technology is already a significant part of the lives of adolescents, youth-serving professionals must determine the best ways to use it to advance the aim of improving the sexual health. A digital intervention created by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America is among the first to attempt using both theory and research to inform its development on reaching African-American and Latin@ youth. This workshop will describe the development of the tools, explain likely outcomes for youth, and facilitate a conversation with participants about how they can make use of the tools in their own work.

ECE 205 CHILD DEVELOPMENT
WEEK ONE INSTRUCTOR GUIDANCE
Pat Yourself on the Back for starting
this course!
“When dealing with children there is greater need for observing than of probing.”
-Maria Montessori
Overview of the Learning Week
Welcome to ECE 205: Child Development. In this course you will become familiar with the influences on child
development by gaining a better understanding of why studying child development is important. You will be
discussing the major theorists and their theories, as well as identifying the developmental ages and stages
associated with each. In the Week One guidance, Chapters 1 and 3 will be examined.
Think about your chosen profession.
Are you familiar with the ages, stages, and milestones of child development?
Do you know how to work with children of all developing stages?
Do you understand developmentally appropriate practices in relation to a child’s age and
developmental stage?
http://www.dailymontessori.com/montessori-theory/
In your profession, you will help children, families, and colleagues better understand child development by
empowering them with ways to reach children at their developmental stage that will help with motor,
cognitive, communication, social-emotional, and self-help skills.
This week you will begin by examining your own personal beliefs about child development. You will be asked
to think back to when you were a child and remember things that contributed to your development. You will
also decide why understanding child development and the study of child development is important in your
chosen profession. Developmental theories will also be examined.
Instructor Expertise
You may be asking why the study of child development is so important. You, as someone working with
children, play a huge role and have a great impact on each child by providing appropriate experiences,
support, and direction child so they reach their optimum developmental level.
What is Child Development and Why Study It?
In 1976, Gene R. Medinnus determined in his Child Study and Observation Guide that there are four principal
reasons for studying children. They are:
1. Having a natural curiosity about human development
2. Needing assistance in guiding children’s development
3. Wanting to better predict behavior
4. Pursuing an interest in understanding one’s own actions. (Groark, McCarthy, & Kirk, 2014).
Because so many children each day are in some type of childcare center, early childhood classroom, or clinic, it
is vital that caregivers provide appropriate support. Professionals working with young children have the
opportunity to impact all aspects of child development while they are in contact with these children.
According to our course text, “it is essential to understand typical human development because that
understanding assists child caregivers in predicting how a child will learn and progress in developmenta ...
The number of students receiving special education services in the United States has never been greater, representing about 8% of school-aged children. Classroom teachers play a central role in identifying children who need special assistance, as they see a large number of students and can more easily recognize those at risk. The first step is for teachers to informally screen students and collect work samples and observations. If interventions by the teacher and Instructional Support Team are ineffective, a formal referral is made for diagnostic assessment by a multidisciplinary team and development of an Individualized Education Program to aid the student.

This document outlines a capstone project for incorporating bioethics into a high school science classroom. It includes objectives such as having students work in groups to complete authentic tasks on various bioethical issues. Examples of projects described are having students take on roles related to the Tuskegee Syphilis study and complete a genetics counseling case study. Throughout the year, students would keep an ethics journal to reflect on science articles addressing ethical issues. The goal is for students to see science as a human endeavor subject to biases and personal values.
Here are some potential questions on increasing disciplinary reading:

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Summary
Students will research the different stages of human embryo development. Next, the
teacher will give a PowerPoint presentation about a category of birth defects known as
neural tube defects (NTDs) and the relationship between NTDs and embryo
development. Students then work in groups to research other birth defects and create
and present a PowerPoint presentation to the class.
Learning Outcomes
• Students will identify and describe important developments in each stage of
human embryo development.
• Students will explain defects that can occur during different stages of embryo
development.
• Students will identify preventative methods available for birth defects
Materials
1. Computers with Internet access
2. PowerPoint
Total Duration
3 hours
Procedures
Teacher Preparation
The teacher should become familiar with embryo development and birth defects at each
stage of embryo development (see “Human Embryo Development Stages”, “Birth
Defects Listing and Information”, and “NTDs PowerPoint Presentation”). Download,
print, and copy all supplemental documents for student use. Download the “NTDs
PowerPoint Presentation”. This could also be printed out and used as a guide for
students as they develop their own PowerPoint presentation.
Note to teachers: like many health-related topics, it is important to present the
information about NTDs in a sensitive manner. Students may have been affected by an
NTD or other birth defect or who have a family member or friend with a birth.

Supplemental Document
Title: Neural Tube Defects (NTDs)
File Name: NTDs PowerPoint.ppt
Description: This PowerPoint describes the types of NTDs, how an NTD occurs,
and the importance of folic acid in the prevention of NTDs.
Introduction Duration: 15 minutes
As a pre-assessment tool, the teacher will ask the students to brainstorm about birth
defects. Students will be allowed five minutes to think of as many birth defects as they
can. When time is up, the teacher will ask students to write their results on the board.
The teacher will inform students that three percent of all babies born in the United States
are affected by a birth defect. In order to understand these defects better, students will
need to have a general understanding of how a human embryo develops.
Step 2 Duration: 30 minutes
After students have brainstormed about birth defects, they will become familiar with the
different stages of embryo development using the VisEmbryo Web site found in the Web
resource list that follows. The teacher will distribute the “Human Embryo Development
Stages” worksheet, which will guide students through the Web site. Students should
work either individually or in pairs to complete the worksheet. After completion, students
should hand in the “Human Embryo Development Stages” worksheet for an assessment
grade.

4. Step 3 Duration: 25 minutes
Now that students have a greater understanding of how an embryo develops, the
teacher will introduce information on NTDs via a PowerPoint presentation. The
presentation discusses the types of NTDs, explains how NTDs occur, and describes
prevention methods women can use to decrease their chances of having a baby with an
NTD.

File Name: NTDs PowerPoint.ppt
Description: This PowerPoint describes how an NTD occurs, the types of NTDs,
and the importance of folic acid in the prevention of NTDs.
Step 4 Duration: 1 hour, 40 minutes
Following the presentation on NTDs, the students will be instructed to choose and
research a birth defect other than NTDs using the Internet. The teacher distributes “Birth
Defects PowerPoint Rubric”. Working in groups of two or three, students will create a
PowerPoint presentation on the birth defect they have chosen that includes all
components listed on the rubric. Students could use the March of Dimes Web resource
to find a birth defect to research. Students will then take turns presenting their
PowerPoint presentations to the entire class. The presentations should be between 5 to
7 minutes in length. The teacher can assess the presentations using the “Birth Defects
PowerPoint Rubric”.

Description: This document is a detailed rubric about the contents of the
students’ PowerPoint presentations.
Conclusion Duration: 10 minutes
The teacher will then ask the students, “Now that we know about birth defects and when
they occur during embryo development, what can we do as a society to increase
awareness of these defects and to promote healthy behaviors such as folic acid use for
prevention of some of them?” Possible ideas include TV commercials, posters, and word
of mouth, etc. The teacher could also ask students to write down a way they will
personally help to spread the word about folic acid use and other prevention strategies
for birth defects.
5. Assessment
In step 2, students will be assessed using the “Human Embryo Development”
supplemental document. In step 5, students will be assessed based on their PowerPoint
and class presentations using the “Birth Defects Power Point Rubric”.
Modifications
Extension
Students could gain additional knowledge about folic acid by researching the pros and
cons of fortifying foods with folic acid. Students could then debate fortification of foods
with folic acid. Teachers could assign students different roles, such as a researcher who
has made discoveries about the effects of folic acid use in prevention of NTDs, a parent
of a child with spina bifida who believes that all women should be taking folic acid to
prevent NTDs, a manufacturer who has to process fortified foods and believes the
fortification will cost more money, or a consumer who believes that certain foods will cost
more money now that they will be fortified with folic acid. In addition to these roles,
students could use computers with Internet access to further research other opinions
people might have regarding the fortification of foods with folic acid.

6. Human Embryo Development Stages
Human Embryo Development and Birth Defects
Kelly Day, CDC’s 2005 Science Ambassador Program
Using a computer with Internet access, go to http://visembryo.com/baby/index.html and
answer the following questions.
1. In embryo development stage 2, what type of replication are the first cells
undergoing? What do you think would happen if a mutation occurred in
one of these cells?
2. At about 16 days post-ovulation, what layer will give rise to the hair, nails,
and skin?
3. Explain what a neural groove is, and at how many days post-ovulation does
this form? What do you think might happen if this neural groove is not
formed properly?
4. At what stage does the heart become a four-chambered heart? What do
you think might occur if the heart does not completely differentiate into
four different chambers?
5. During what stage is gender differentiated? What do you think might occur
if the gender does not properly differentiate?
6. Describe two major developments that occur during stage 23.
7. During what week of development does the baby acquire the unique ridges
that form fingerprints?
8. During what week of development are the lungs completely capable of
breathing air?
7. 9. Why is a fetus’s eye color usually blue at Week 32 post-fertilization,
regardless of the permanent color?
10. At how many weeks post-fertilization is the baby considered “full term”?

bones.
8. Human Embryo Development Stages Answer Key
Human Embryo Development and Birth Defects
Kelly Day, CDC’s 2005 Science Ambassador Program
Using a computer with Internet access, go to http://visembryo.com/baby/index.html and
answer the following questions.
1. In embryo development stage 2, what type of replication are the first cells
undergoing? What do you think would happen if a mutation occurred in one of
these cells?
The cells are undergoing mitotic division. If one cell acquires a mutation, then
all subsequent cells will also have the same mutation because during mitosis,
every cell replicates from another cell and is the exact same as the cell it came
from.
2. At about 16 days post-ovulation, what layer will give rise to the hair, nails, and
skin?
The ectoderm.
3. Explain what a neural groove is, and at how many days post-ovulation does
this form? What do you think might happen if this neural groove is not formed
properly?
The neural groove is the organ that will eventually form the nervous system.
This forms between 17 and 19 days post-ovulation. If the neural groove was
not formed properly, the baby might have problems with his/her brain or spinal
chord.
4. At what stage does the heart become a four-chambered heart? What do you
think might occur if the heart does not completely differentiate into four
different chambers?
At stage 17, the heart becomes four-chambered. If the heart does not
completely differentiate into four chambers properly, the baby might have a
congenital heart defect.
5. During what stage is gender differentiated? What do you think might occur if
the gender does not properly differentiate?
During stage 20, gender is differentiated. If this did not occur properly, the
baby might end up having organs of both sexes or an undistinguishable
gender.
6. Describe two major developments that occur during stage 23.
Answers may vary. For example, taste buds begin to form, intestines begin to
migrate into the body cavity.
7. During what week of development does the baby acquire the unique ridges
that form fingerprints?
During week 16 post-fertilization.
9. 8. During what week of development are the lungs completely capable of
breathing air?
During week 26 post-fertilization.
9. Why is a fetus’s eye color usually blue at week 32 post-fertilization, regardless
of the permanent color?
Eye color is usually blue because pigmentation is not fully developed until the
eyes receive light exposure.
10. At how many weeks post-fertilization is the baby considered “full term”?
40 weeks.
11. Describe why an infant is born with 300 bones, while an adult has 206 bones?
As the baby grows, some bones will fuse together.

12. Roles for Folic Acid Debate
Human Embryo Development and Birth Defects
Kelly Day, CDC’s 2005 Science Ambassador Program
1. Folic acid researcher. You have been involved with the research of positive
effects of folic acid on birth defects. You have also published several papers
regarding these effects. What would be your argument for fortifying foods with
folic acid?
2. Parent of a child with spina bifida. You are a parent who has a child with
spina bifida. If foods had been fortified with folic acid, it might have decreased
the chance of your child having the birth defect. What would be your argument
for fortifying foods with folic acid?
3. Manufacturer who now has to process fortified foods. You are a
manufacturer who will now have to make sure all the food you process will be
fortified with folic acid. What would be your argument for fortifying foods with
folic acid?
4. Doctor. You are a doctor who has not seen a significant decrease in neural tube
birth defects. You may still support the use of folic acid for other reasons. What
would be your argument for the fortification of foods?
5. Congressperson. You are currently working with a large Hispanic population.
The Hispanic population tends to have a greater risk of neural tube defects than
other populations. What would your argument be for the fortification of foods with
folic acid?
6. Consumer. You are concerned about the increase in prices of certain foods.
You start to think the government is fabricating the story of how folic acid
prevents birth defects. What would your argument be for the fortification of foods
with folic acid?
7. Others. What are some other people that might have varying opinions about
fortification of foods with folic acid? What would their arguments be?
