MIT researcher Deb Roy wanted to understand how his infant son learned language -- so he wired up his house with videocameras to catch every moment (with exceptions) of his son's life, then parsed 90,000 hours of home video to watch "gaaaa" slowly turn into "water." Astonishing, data-rich research with deep implications for how we learn. Deb Roy studies how children learn language, and designs machines that learn to communicate in human-like ways. On sabbatical from MIT Media Lab, he's working with the AI company Bluefin Labs. A quiz, thought provoking question, and links for further study are provided to create a lesson around the 20-minute video. Educators may use the platform to easily "Flip" or create their own lesson for use with their students of any age or level.

This unit looks at the human being in the context of an individual life cycle, examining some of the processes that contribute to the formation of a new person. After a brief discussion of historical ideas about human conception, and about contraception to the present day, we look at the cells involved in the conception and development of a new individual. Gamete production (that is, production of mature cells able to unite with another in sexual reproduction) in both men and women is introduced and the role gametes in fertility and, when things go wrong, infertility is explained. We then discuss the early development of a new individual, along with some thoughts on women's experience of pregnancy.

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
