Science For Everyday
E. L. Galvin's science curriculum for the Montessori early childhood classroom, 156 pages in soft cover, 2001 edition. Seventy lesson activities are set out with suggestions for scheduling them month by month, and a full introduction covers how to integrate the lessons and how to assess them. What a curriculum book is really for is the year: anyone can find one good science activity, and the difficulty is having thirty five weeks of them that build on each other. Paper with spiral binding, for teachers.
How to present it
Organize the curriculum binder on a low shelf with experiment materials in labeled containers nearby. Create a dedicated science observation area with magnifying glasses, recording sheets, and pencils.
- 1Select the current month's divider and review the week's experiment
- 2Present the experiment materials on a tray, naming each item clearly
- 3Demonstrate the experiment slowly, emphasizing observation points
- 4Invite the child to repeat the experiment independently
- 5Guide documentation through drawing or simple charts
3 tips for parents
- Recreate simple experiments at home using the curriculum's everyday materials list

Frequently Asked Questions
What age group is this science curriculum designed for?
This Montessori-based science curriculum is specifically designed for children ages 3-6 years, aligning with the early childhood developmental stage when children are naturally curious about their environment and eager to explore through hands-on activities.
How is the curriculum organized throughout the year?
The curriculum is thoughtfully organized by month with color-coded dividers, making it easy for educators and parents to follow a structured progression of scientific concepts throughout the year while maintaining flexibility to adapt to children's interests and seasonal opportunities.
What types of experiments and activities are included?
The curriculum includes age-appropriate, hands-on experiments and observation activities that connect science to everyday experiences, such as exploring states of matter, plant growth, simple physics concepts, and natural phenomena that children encounter in their daily lives.
Do I need special materials or equipment for the activities?
Most activities are designed to use common household items and materials readily available in typical Montessori classrooms or homes, emphasizing accessibility and the connection between science and everyday life rather than requiring specialized scientific equipment.
How does this align with Montessori educational principles?
The curriculum follows core Montessori principles by encouraging self-directed exploration, hands-on learning, and observation-based discovery, allowing children to construct their own understanding of scientific concepts through concrete experiences before moving to abstract thinking.
