Abstract: How can you help first-grade students learn about human development and practice their observation, measurement, graphing, and prediction skills? Just follow Ashton Bates's lead and invite the mother (or father) of a newborn baby to bring the infant to visit your class once a month. Ms. Bates, a teacher at General Greene School of Science and Technology, became a grandmother just before school opened, when her daughter produced a beautiful discovery-oriented science project in the form of a grandson, Nicholas.
