The assignment revision is in tandem with the adoption of a new OER, Contemporary Families: An Equity Lens, by Liz Pearce.

HDFS 201 Contemporary Families in The U.S.
An introduction to families with application to personal life. Focuses on diversity in family structure, social class, race, gender, work, and its interaction with other social institutions.

Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Use theoretical frameworks to interpret the role of the family within social process and institutions. Describe the nature, value, and limitations of the basic methods of studying individuals and families. Using historical and contemporary examples, describe how perceived differences, combined with unequal distribution of power across economic, social, and political institutions, result in inequity. Explain how difference is socially constructed. Analyze current social issues, including the impact of historical and environmental influences, on family development. Analyze ways in which the intersections of social categories such as race, ethnicity, social class, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and age, interact with the country's institutions to contribute to difference, power, and discrimination amongst families. Synthesize multiple viewpoints and sources of evidence to generate reasonable conclusions.

This five-part lesson plan for middle school science classrooms is designed for exploration and learning about the impacts of light pollution on migratory birds in Connecticut. Light pollution negatively affects many species of migratory birds that fly through Connecticut, especially migratory songbirds.

The learning module equips learners with the necessary skills and knowledge to extend their understanding of light pollution and its effects on migratory bird populations as an unintended consequence of human development. It identifies specific learning goals, objectives, and activities for students, providing both direction and pace for the learning process. It also serves as a roadmap for educators with sequential learning objectives and thoughtful handout materials.

This curriculum was designed by Catherine Ferreri, a sixth-grade science teacher at Coleytown Middle School, in Westport, CT, who has a background in biology and the environment. Meredith Barges, a bird-friendly building expert and co-chair of Lights Out Connecticut, collaborated on the development and design of the project. The project was funded by the Hartford Audubon Society and individual donors to Lights Out Connecticut.

Educators who wish to adapt the curriculum for their students and classroom goals are encouraged to download the PDF as a word-processing document and make modifications directly to the main document and handout materials.

It is hoped that by increasing learning and engagement by young people about bird migration—and the challenges migratory birds face as a result of light pollution—will inspire greater care for migratory birds and meaningful, lasting change.

Class video exercise that helps students practice strategies outlined in the text "Child, Family, and Community" by Rebecca Laff and Wendy Ruiz.

This graduate and advanced undergraduate level lecture and literature discussion course covers the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms that regulate animal development. Evolutionary mechanisms are emphasized as well as the discussion of relevant diseases. Vertebrate (mouse, chick, frog, fish) and invertebrate (fly, worm) models are covered. Specific topics include formation of early body plan, cell type determination, organogenesis, morphogenesis, stem cells, cloning, and issues in human development.

This lesson is meant to be a guide for Nebraska Family and Consumer Sciences teachers who may teach the following courses Human Development, Human Growth & Development, Child Development, Parenting, Interpersonal Relationships, Relationships, Family Living, Teen Living or Daily Living courses. Any additional readings and/or topics not included in the lesson plan should be marked N/A.

The NOBA Project is a growing collection of expert-authored, open-licensed modules in psychology, funded by the Diener Education Fund. From these open modules, Tori Kearns and Deborah Lee created an arranged open textbook for her introductory psychology class. This textbook was created under a Round One ALG Textbook Transformation Grant.

Incredible Real Photography of the journey from a sperm to human baby- Developing in the womb photography by Lennart Nilsson

All photographs are real , clicked by real conventional cameras with macro lenses, an endoscope and scanning electron microscope These beautiful photographs of the fetus growth in the womb is Incredible and wont let you blink your eye untill the video is over.

Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson spent 12 years of his life taking pictures of the fetus Developing in the womb. These incredible photographs were taken with conventional cameras with macro lenses, an endoscope and scanning electron microscope. Nilsson used a magnification of hundreds of thousands and “worked” right in the womb. His first photo of the human fetus was taken in 1965.
Sperm in the Fallopian Tube..!!
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

20 weeks.Approximately 20 cm.Woolly hair, known as lanugo, covers the entire head

6 months.The little human is getting ready to leave the uterus.It turns upside down because it will be easier to get out this way

36 weeks. The child will see the world in 4 weeks

This book provides an overview of lifespan developmental tasks (physical, cognitive, language, social, emotional) examined from individual and family theoretical perspectives. It covers topics related to families, diversity, individual and family health and well-being, and reciprocal relationships as affected by external factors.

The video introduces health challenges for the very varied group of migrants. A large part voluntarily migrated, but non-voluntary groups include refugees, IDPs, Stateless and trafficked persons. Internal migrants are both due to conflicts and disasters and general urbanisation. The different groups have very varied health issues, and also very varied protective frameworks – whether international conventions or national laws and services - and may not be able or willing to seek health care.

This presentation provides an introduction to migrant health and its importance in the global health context. We’ll look at the key concepts of migration and ethnicity and how they are related to health. Furthermore we’ll look at how barriers may arise in access to health care for migrants, and finally we’ll provide examples from a Scandinavian context on differences in health between migrants and ethnic Danes.

This open course for Introduction to Human Development is an adaptation of PsychologyWiki materials and was created under a Round Nine Textbook Transformation Grant.

Students learn about psychology, beginning with a brief history of psychologists and their experimental methods. They then examine psychological concepts, such as personality theories, human development, and consciousness, including sleep, dreams, and psychoactive substances. Students also investigate social psychology and psychological disorders. They demonstrate their understanding by completing projects in which they play roles like teacher, parent, and psychologist.
