HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Medical Foundations

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT COMIC STRIP Create a comic strip that depicts a person aging from 6 weeks to 70 and older. You should have 21 boxes. Using white paper, draw pictures to represent each stage of development. You should use captions to help explain what is occurring, or write a description below the picture. Choose three colors to outline the boxes as either: Fetal and Infant Stage, Preteen Years or Preadolescent Years, Adulthood. See the example on the board.

FETAL DEVELOPMENT POSTER Measure out the fetus during each month of development by drawing a straight line to represent the length. Next to the straight line, write one of the developmental milestones that occurs during that month.

MEASURING BABY So how does a doctor figure out whether a child's height and weight measurements are "normal"? Whether he or she is developing on track? Whether any health problems are affecting growth?

CDC PERCENTILE CHARTS For example, an unusually large head may be a sign of hydrocephalus, a buildup of fluid inside the brain. A head that's smaller than average may be a sign that the brain is not developing properly or has stopped growing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) created the growth charts that are most commonly used in the United States. They were last updated in 2000. Let's say that 4-year-old boy, who is in the 10th percentile for weight, is also in the 10th percentile for height. So 10% of kids are shorter and weigh less than he does, and most kids — 90% — are taller and weigh more. That just means that he's smaller than average, which usually doesn't mean there is a problem.

COMMONLY USED STANDARD GROWTH CHARTS INCLUDE: Ages birth to 36 months (3 years):Ages 2 to 20 years: Boys' length- and weight-for-age Girls' length- and weight-for-age Girls' head circumference-for- age and weight-for-length Boys' head circumference-for- age and weight-for-length Girls' stature- and weight-for-age Boys' stature- and weight-for-age Girls ' weight-for-stature (height) Boys' weight-for-stature (height)
