Life span development
This is a creative activity where you can incorporate your ideas, art and personal style.
- Create a timeline of human development, beginning with the sperm and ovum through the entire life span. Details and facts - make it interesting, colorful and engaging. Use markers, magazine cut outs, poster board, construction paper, photos from the internet, text books, your own personal anecdotes and photos. Make a pop up book or a scrap book if you want. The important thing is that you include all of the assessment criteria and include all of the necessary details and facts.
