Choose three different teratogens that could affect prenatal development. Then outline the known effects of each teratogen in a paper and pay particular attention to how these teratogens may influence prenatal development in sensitive periods of development and highlight any connection/similarities or disparities between the chosen teratogens.

Teratogen

Choose three different teratogens that could affect prenatal development. At least one of the chosen teratogens should be from a source outside of the textbook or class (in other words, only two of the three teratogens may coincide with those discussed in the text or in class).

Outline the known effects of each teratogen (this should involve information from the text as well as other, reputable sources) in a paper and pay particular attention to how these teratogens may influence prenatal development in sensitive periods of development and highlight any connection/similarities or disparities between the chosen teratogens (e.g., does cocaine have similar effects to heroin; how are they different?).

Finally, use the information to design a simple pamphlet that alerts the public to the hazards of your “chosen” teratogens.

The pamphlet should be concise, informative, accurate, and attractive. Keep in mind that the pamphlet would be for the general public, so it is not necessary (and would probably not be appropriate) to discuss sensitive periods and similarities/differences in the pamphlet (remember that pamphlets should catch readers’ attention and be informative—too much or too detailed information may turn readers away).

Use word or an online pamphlet maker (like postermywall or adobe) to create your pamphlet and upload the file. It should be accompanied by a 2-page document answering the above questions regarding your chosen teratogens. Minimum of 3 outside sources.
