MedicineNet Stages of Pregnacy Slideshow

MedicineNew.com (www.medicinenet.com) has put together a short (23) slide show detailing the stages of pregnancy. Each slide includes an brief explanation of events happening during that particular stage.

While primarily designed for expectant mothers, the slide show could easily be used within a developmental psychology unit.

For more information on the stages of pregnancy slide show, go to http://www.medicinenet.com/stages_of_pregnancy_pictures_slideshow/article.htm In addition, check out the "Ten Principles of Good Parenting" slide show at http://www.medicinenet.com/parenting_principles_pictures_slideshow/article.htm

Mayo Clinic Child Development Chart

While the formatting of this chart is not ideal for classroom use, it still provides a wealth of information on a new born child's development. Perhaps someone would be able to reformat the material into a table and post the document on the 4Shared file sharing account at http://www.4shared.com/dir/10555367/29577282/sharing.html If you do, please include your name at the beginning of the file name and upload the file into the Developmental Psychology folder. Thanks in advance to the person willing to take on this project.
