12 Health and Social Care

The Egg Parent Project

Before starting the Human Life Span
Development topic in Health and Social
Care, Year 10 students undertook The Egg
Parent Project to help them gain an insight
into physical, intellectual, emotional and
social development during infancy (the first
two years of life).
The students got creative with their hard-
boiled egg ‘babies’ giving them names and
identities as well as creating suitable
receptacles to transport them around safely.
The students were challenged to keep the
babies safe (and intact) for a week, taking
them everywhere they went or arranging
suitable child care.
Meanwhile, during lessons and for home
learning the students set about creating
baby books for their egg babies which
detailed their development including major
developmental milestones during infancy.
The Egg Parent Project was a great success
and we were extremely impressed as a
department with the enthusiasm and
creativity demonstrated.
