Presenting formal scientific language for botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, geology, astronomy and anthropology introduces your child to the fundamental approach of these disciplines in an accurate and organized way. This is precisely what makes the sciences accessible to your young child. Children fascinated by the names of things are lead to the art of classification, which in turn leads to the pursuit, and understanding of complex concepts of structure and function. Hands-on experiments, which demonstrate electricity, magnetism, gravity, light, and other physical properties, provide active learning opportunities. We know that learning is optimized when independent and collaborative activity is a large part of the process. Science concepts usually reserved for older children in traditional classrooms are part of the daily life in a Montessori class from the very beginning of the elementary years.
