Baby Project
Purpose of Activity:
Students will determine the costs associated with teenage pregnancy and childbirth through
age 1 of the child. By showing teens the high costs involved, we hope to foster better decisions
about becoming sexually active. Students are very surprised at how quickly the costs mount. It
definitely fosters class discussions regarding responsibility and making good sound decisions.
The “Baby Project” is a three part project that will include a cost analysis of proper care for a baby,
two opinion questions and an oral presentation. All three parts will count as a project grade. Make
sure you follow all the directions to avoid point deductions.
Materials Needed:
The materials the students need will depend on how the students choose to present
their final project. Each student will give a full report of his/her findings using any medium of
choice. Examples of delivery include PowerPoint presentations, baby books, brochures, etc.
