Remember to have high expectations
Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How does an offspring develop?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. The zygote copies and divides and itself to produce a ball of cells called a embryo.
  2. A women becomes pregnant when the embryo implants in the blood rich lining of the Uterus.
  3. The embryo develops into a fetus. It is called a fetus when it heart starts beating.
  4. Part of the embryo develops into a placenta, which allows substances to cross from the mother's blood into the fetus, and vice versa.
  5. The time spend in the uterus is called gestation period. During this time cells continue to copy and divide allowing the fetus to grow.
  6. PLOT: Gestation period vs birth weight for animals
