Introduction
This is page has been made to help the younger student (from K to 12) understand some of the basics of how an embryo grows.
- Links: Original K12 page
Start Here
In humans, the growth of a baby inside a mother takes about 9 months.
In chickens, mice and rats this growth only takes about 3 weeks.
Question: How long does it take for cats and dogs to develop?
- During this time a single cell will grow into many different cell types with different shapes and jobs to do in the body.
- A similar process will occur in all different embryos.
- In humans, many important changes occur in the first few weeks of development and much of the following 9 months is growth.
Lets now follow the growth and changes in the embryo over time.
Teachers Note
- These notes are still not yet complete and note that some content on other content pages may not be suitable for young students. All suitable pages have Category:K12 at the bottom of the page.
- It is also difficult to make notes suitable to cover the entire K -12 age group.
- For younger students I suggest showing the movies of embryo growth and other movies.
- Also the Animal Development pages have many pictures of different animal embryos.
