What Is Montessori Science:
Maria Montessori believed in introducing children to as many things as possible and allowing them to explore the world around them.
We love scientific activities because they help promote a sense of inquiry in all children. They answer the Why, What, When, Who and How, which are some of the words that come naturally to children from an early age.
Printed labels and 3 part cards are important in a Montessori environment. Having visual cards and labels helps build vocabulary and reading skills. But we also love to just have fun with the experiments.
