Authentic Montessori Science Lessons
We cover the foundations for physics, chemistry, earth science, and space science. All of the current lessons align with the Montessori geography album, where science is traditionally introduced, or build on its teachings with other Montessori-inspired science activities.
Our program is self-paced, so your learner has the option to choose from and work on anything that sparks their interest. Alternatively, you can have them follow the natural progression of topics by starting at the top of the classroom page and having them build on their knowledge as they work their way down.
We suggest aiming for 1 video lesson + 1-3 extension activities per week.
35 Engaging Lessons
Children are natural observers … Who made the Universe? How do magnets work? What makes the ground shake during an earthquake? Our lessons will spark their innate curiosity, and help them ask and answer questions about the world around them.
Our Program Will ...
- Let them learn by doing. Maria Montessori said, “the hand is the instrument of intelligence.” Your young learners will discover more about science from the experiments they do than from any facts they are told.
- Help them understand science as a part of their Cosmic Education with lessons in the natural sciences, the orderly working of elements, and how those topics relate to the phenomena we experience on planet Earth.
- Encourage their self-motivation and educational development. Our program is intuitively curated online, where each learner has the freedom to choose from our series of self-paced lessons and experiments. There is plenty of offline work and exploration too!
- Foster their desire for knowledge by allowing them to dive deep into topics with the experiments and activities we paired with each lesson.
How it Works
1.
Get started with a Montessori Laboratory membership.Unlock our sequence of Montessori science activities, experiments, and lessons.
2.
Spark your learner’s curiosity with an engaging video lesson ...or gather your own inspiration if you’d like to give a lesson yourself!
3.
Choose 2-5 extension activities for follow-ups.We have Montessori science experiments, nomenclature cards, research prompts, and more!
4.
Keep track of completed work.Each learner has their own login, making organization easy in your classroom, while distance learning, or for homeschooling.
A scientist is someone who uses experimenting as a way to “search out the deep truth of life, to lift a veil from its fascinating secrets.”
