Description
In this interactive, google slides lesson, students learn about fertilization, embryonic development, differentiation, and stages of pregnancy. Special emphasis is placed on diffusion across the placenta. The order of specific student tasks are listed below.
1. Students state whether gametes are diploid or haploid, and how many chromosomes are present in them (in a human.) Then, they simulate fertilization with a drag and drop sperm icon with a removeable nucleus. Finally, the state whether a zygote is diploid or haploid, and how many chromosomes are present in it (in a human.)
2. Students simulate cell division from the zygote to morula stages of development by deleting icons on slides
3. Students read notes slides about how the blastula becomes a gastrula through gastrulation.
4. Students read about differentiation, and complete an analogy comparing gene regulation to choosing what to read in a large library.
5. Students simulate differentiation by picking colored messages out from a string of garbled letters. A hyperlinked support document offers colorblind or visually impaired students a chance to see the messages in bold and underlined.
6. Students learn the difference between identical and fraternal twins.
7. Students see notes slides about the trimesters of pregnancy and the stages of birth.
8. Students learn about the placenta. Students state which direction molecules would diffuse across a placenta based on high and low concentrations.
9. Students label an anatomy diagram of a pregnant woman's abdomen.
10. Students complete a "mini web-quest." Going to four trusted, linked sources, they discover what happens to the pregnant person's body and to the developing fetus in the first, second, and third trimesters.
Thank you, and happy teaching!
