Prenatal development
Prenatal development occurs in three periods: the period of the ovum from conception to 2 weeks, the period of the embryo from 2-8 weeks, and the period of the fetus from 8 weeks until birth. During the period of the ovum, the fertilized egg undergoes cell multiplication and implants in the uterus. In the period of the embryo, major organs and bones form along with the placenta, amniotic fluid, and umbilical cord to provide nourishment. By the period of the fetus, organs mature and the baby begins moving, sucking its thumb, and hiccupping.
Prenatal care
Pregnant women should eat a nutritious diet, get regular checkups, exercise in moderation, and avoid drugs, alcohol, and smoking. They should gain 24-30 pounds total, with slower weight gain at first and steady weekly gains later in pregnancy. Proper nutrition is crucial for the health of the mother and developing fetus.
Miscarriage & stillbirth
Miscarriage is the loss of pregnancy before 20 weeks and is often caused by chromosomal abnormalities in the early embryo. Recurrent miscarriage, occurring more than once, is less likely due to random chromosomal issues and may be caused by structural uterine problems, blood clotting disorders, chromosomal disorders, hormonal imbalances, or immune system malfunctions. Stillbirth occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy and can result from cervical weakness, placental problems, or preterm labor, with 24 weeks often being the minimum gestation for infant survival.
Heredity
Identical twins occur when a single fertilized egg splits into two embryos, while fraternal twins develop from two separate eggs fertilized by different sperm. Conjoined twins result when an egg begins to split like identical twins but fails to completely separate, causing the embryos to share parts of the body. Heredity plays a large role in determining physical traits that are passed down from parents to children through genes and chromosomes. Factors like genetics and environment can also impact prenatal development and may cause birth defects.
Early pregnancy
The document discusses early signs of pregnancy such as a missed period, fatigue, breast tenderness, nausea, frequent urination, dizziness, and changes in appetite or mood. It notes that a pregnancy test is needed to confirm pregnancy through urine or blood tests measuring hormones like HCG. An obstetrician specializes in prenatal care and pregnancy usually takes about 40 weeks. Common discomforts in pregnancy include nausea, fatigue, heartburn, swelling, and frequent urination while complications could involve bleeding, high blood pressure, headaches or abdominal pain.
History of the study of child development
Parenting styles have evolved significantly over time. Historically, children were viewed as the property of their parents and expected to obey without question. As views changed, the authoritarian style gave way to authoritative and permissive approaches that consider children's input and independence. Today, children are seen as individuals deserving nurturing environments to grow and learn at their own pace through play and exploration.

The document camera
The document camera can be used for more than just overhead projection. It allows both teachers and students to display materials to engage students and demonstrate concepts. The document camera facilitates various classroom activities like showing work, labeling diagrams, presenting assignments, and comparing examples. Students can use it to teach peers, and teachers can model note-taking, problem-solving strategies, and new material for the class. The interactive capabilities of the document camera promote student participation, attention, and learning.
Tardy procedures for students
The document outlines the tardy policy for students at the school. It lists dress down days that students can earn every two weeks by having no tardies. It then details the consequences for tardies, starting with a warning for the first tardy. Consequences become increasingly severe, culminating in loss of passing periods or overnight suspension. Detention is assigned after the 4th tardy.
Tardy
Being late to class by 5 minutes for 3 classes a day, 4 days a week for a month adds up to losing 4 hours of instructional time. The document warns that being tardy so often means losing a significant amount of learning and could harm one's future, so students should make sure to get to class on time.
