Development: Journey of a Lifetime (CD-ROM)

This multimedia tool guides students through the process of human growth and development through videos, animations, and audio clips and interactive pedagogy and quizzes. Development: Journey of a Lifetime is comprised of 12 units and is a fun, educational, multimedia teaching tool that literally brings development to life. Through the use of unscripted, real video footage, students will get a chance to see everything from a baby taking its first breath to a teen mom discussing how her life has changed since becoming a mother. The numerous animations included on this CD teach students visually about the inner workings of the human body, including the reproductive organs, conception, and pregnancy.
