The development of the fetus occurs at a phenomenal rate. At no other time in your life do you go through as many changes as you do during those 9 months in your mother's womb. Can you imagine growing from 5 feet tall to 12 feet tall in
just 3 months? One day, your clothes would fit you and the next day, they would not! This is the equivalent of what occurs
during the gestation period in the mother's womb.
In this activity, you will draw the stages of fetal development to scale ("to scale" means to its exact size). You will need a
few pieces of white paper, some colored pencils, a ruler, and some tape.
Below is the slide show of the three trimesters from the previous lesson.
