Science activities play a crucial role in the Montessori setting, with the teacher giving gentle direction and guidance in accord with your child’s instructional level. The Science area in a Montessori environment might explore the world of plants through topics such as pollination and seed dispersal, the plants we eat and the use of tree identification cards. Weather and astronomy experiments delve into types of clouds and weather and moon phases. Montessori students learn about the U.S. space missions and enjoy using weather tracking and astronomy cards to broaden their understanding of the sky. Examination of forms of energy and Newton’s three laws of motion bring light to Science theories, and your child will learn about his or her own place in the world as they explore animals and their place in the animal kingdom. In accordance with Montessori principles, subjects evolve as children show other new interests.
