The Biology of Prenatal Development DVD
This program is distributedin the U.S. and Canada by
National Geographic.
Our award-winning science documentary, The Biology of Prenatal Development, explains the science and communicates the wonder of human development from fertilization through birth. Using six medical imaging technologies, the program features extraordinarily rare direct videography of the living human embryo and early fetus inside the womb from 4 to 12 weeks following fertilization.
Produced in conjunction with and endorsed by human development experts, this program provides a unique visual appreciation of prenatal development, while clearly explaining facts obtained from the medical literature. This program was released on June 2, 2006 and includes closed captions in English, and subtitles in Spanish and French. Sometime in the near future, we anticipate subtitles will be available in many additional languages.
Intended for general audiences, The Biology of Prenatal Development is recommended for use in middle and high school health and biology courses, introductory college- and graduate-level human embryology courses, and prenatal care classes. It is a key ingredient in EHD's curriculum intended to enhance the effectiveness of prenatal care education, health science education, and efforts to prevent the use of harmful substances during pregnancy.
