An egg cell..!!
The fallopian tube
Two sperms are contacting with the egg cell
The winning sperm
The sperm 5-6 days.The clump has developed into a blastocyst, containing many more cells,and has entered the womb
8 days.The human embryo is attached to a wall of the uterus
The brain starts to develop in the human embryo

24 days.The one-month-old embryo has no skeleton yet.There is only a heart that starts beating on the 18th day

5 weeks.Approximately 9 mm.You can now distinguish the face with holes for eyes,nostrils and mouth

40 days.Embryonic cells form the placenta.This organ connects the embryo to the uterine wall allowing nutrient uptake,waste elimination and gas exchange via the woman’s blood supply

Eight weeks.The rapidly-growing embryo is well protected in the foetal sac

10 weeks. The eyelids are semi-shut. They will close completely in a few days

16 weeks.The foetus uses its hands to explore its own body and its surroundings

The skeleton consists mainly of flexible cartridge.A network of blood vessels is visible through the thin skin

18 weeks.Approximately 14 cm.The foetus can now perceive sounds from the outside world

This book is a compilation of created and remixed resources for use in various courses supporting the care and development of infants and toddlers. This textbook is intended to be pulled apart, remixed, reshared, and redistributed in the form that best meets your individual needs. For this reason, this resource has unique characteristics not typical of other textbooks.
• Each chapter or section is stand-alone. No chapter references another or makes statements such as “as you previously read.” This intentional design choice allows you to remix every section without concern about referencing a section you did not copy over.
• The chapters were created around topics we felt should be stand-alone and therefore had different length requirements. For this reason, you will notice a chapter might be 20 pages or 2.
• Chapters contain multiple sections to remix easily and create new and unique chapters for your individual needs.
• You might find repeat information within sections. Since each section is intended as a stand-alone section, information might be repeated within sections to give context to the subject matter. The beauty of OER is you have permission to delete and add as needed.
• We’ve made every effort to keep the original source with the content, as you remix be aware of the license types on each resource.
To best use a small window of time to complete this resource, we decided to forgo many of the extra “bells and whistles” one might find in traditional textbooks, including call-out boxes with additional resources, robust vignettes, and reflection questions. While we feel this resource contains much of the content needed for multiple infant and toddler courses, we eagerly await each improvement upon this resource the infant and toddler educator community bring forth.

This book includes the Learning Outcome: explain and recognize stages and milestones in physical, social, emotional, sensory, linguistic, and cognitive development for infants from birth to 15 months old. The objective meets the NAEYC Standard 1a [Knowing and understanding young children’s characteristics and needs, from birth through age 8] for educator preparation and the MA Core Competency 1.A.1 and 1.G.15 at the initial level. You will experience how an infant develops at an individual rate and has a personal approach to learning.

This course will provide opportunity to use the Massachusetts Early Learning Guidelines to support your work with infants and toddlers. The first three years of life area a time of rapid brain development and learning. This time is critically important for infants and toddlers as they develop foundations for learning. The purpose of the Early Learning Guidelines (ELG) for Infants and Toddlers is to provide a comprehensive view of the development of infants and toddlers while documenting experiences that support this development.

The site you are viewing is the result of a true labour of love. Created to support teachers and students who are exploring the rewards and challenges of observing young children, this site is the culmination of many hours of work and the gracious participation of children, families, educators, administrators and staff people at four child-care settings in the city of Montreal, in Quebec, Canada.

Featuring a collection of 200 short video clips, this site will provide users with a perfect window into the world of infants and toddlers and their daily experiences in child care. As well, users will see the wide range of tasks and roles that early childhood professionals take on each day. Finally, many of the clips highlight the importance of the partnerships that form between parents and the educators who care for their young children.

In addition to the extensive bank of short video clips, the site also features longer sequences designed to provide users with a more sustained experience. These longer sequences give viewers an excellent idea of just what goes on in Quebec child-care centres on a typical day.

This is an infographic that will help your students understand how to study independently. 

There are portions of this book that would be particularly relevant, including Part III on reflective planning and Part V on assessment.
