Mаrcus is а high schооl teаcher at Williamsburg High Schоol. He typically coaches the basketball team but was recently asked to teach a course on sex education and child development. He feels comfortable explaining the importance of safe sex and initiating healthy sexual relationships but knows nothing about child development. He decides to do some independent research. Marcus finds blog authored by you. On the website, you briefly outline child development beginning with conception. You then end with a discussion on how children develop cognitively. Excitedly, Marcus decides to contact you via email to ask specific questions regarding a few topics he had difficulty understanding. Using the question prompts provided, help Marcus to learn the basics of child development ahead of teaching his class? Question Set 1: Marcus: Fundamentally speaking, what is child development practically and theoretically. 1. Outline the five stages of development. 2. Describe two (2) of the theoretical questions associated with child development. Question Set 2: Marcus: My background is in sports science not biology and genetics, can you explain mitosis and meiosis and how to predict genotypes for me? 1. Next, explain cell division by outlining the main difference between Mitosis and Meiosis. 2. Then, discuss how many chromosomes a child receives from each parent along with the difference between male chromosomes and female chromosomes. 3. After that, introduce and predict a genotype example by creating your own Punnett Square. a) Create an example of a dominant and recessive trait with a 50% probability outcome for the genotype (this is where the gene combinations/alleles represent a 50% probability) and a 100% outcome for the phenotype (this is where the physical appearance is 100% likely to be dominant). i) For example, you can use phenotype human characteristics (eye color or hair color) or phenotype animal characteristics (straight fur or curly fur) as possible examples. Indicate the heterozygous alleles with a letter (e.g., big A and little a) Indicate the homozygous alleles with a letter (e.g., little a and little a) b) Use the section below this question to upload a hand drawn picture of your Punnett Square. Question Set 3: Marcus: What factors contribute to healthy fetal development? a) Explain what are teratogens. b) Discuss the environmental teratogens an expecting mother should avoid. Question Set 4: Marcus: I know very little about cognitive development, can you describe Piaget and Vygotsky's theories and how they differ from each other? 1. Focusing on the brain and cognitive development describe neuroplasticity and how it relates to Jean Piaget’s adaptation process. Be sure to describe both. a) Discuss how Jean Piaget’s cognitive development theory differs from Lev Vygotsky’s theory of sociocultural learning development. b) Describe the Zone of Proximal Development and how it helps a child to construct knowledge. Question Set 5: Marcus: Can you explain the difference between general and specific intelligence? Additionally, what is multiple intelligence? 1. Describe the difference between general and specific intelligence. 2. Next, explain what is multiple intelligences. a) After that, outline five different types of multiple intelligence.
