Nurturing Wonder in the Natural World
In Montessori, science begins with awe. Whether it's watching a seed sprout or observing a ladybug, children are guided to notice, question, and care. Through real experiences and hands-on work, they build curiosity and a deep love for the world around them.
Why It Matters
Observation: Learning to slow down and really look—at bugs,
plants, and clouds.
Exploration: Using simple tools like magnifying glasses to
notice patterns and textures.
Classification: Sorting leaves, rocks, animals, and objects
helps children make sense of their world.
Cause & Effect: Watching changes—melting, growing,
floating—helps children understand how things work.
Respect for Nature: Caring for plants and animals fosters
responsibility and wonder.
The Science Journey
- Zoology: Learning about animals, their parts, and their homes.
- Botany: Exploring leaves, flowers, seeds, and how plants grow.
- Earth & Weather: Talking about rocks, seasons, clouds, and rain.
- Physical Science: Playing with magnets, light, and water to observe change.
- Gardening & Ecology: Digging, planting, composting, and learning about soil and insects.
- Simple Experiments: Pouring, mixing, and watching how materials react and change.
