No longer madeIn the Montessori classroom, science begins with observation. Botany puzzles teach children the parts of a leaf, flower, and tree through tactile exploration. Zoology materials introduce animal classification. The natural world becomes a source of wonder and systematic study.
Children learn to observe carefully, record their findings, and draw conclusions, the foundations of scientific thinking. The Botany Cabinet with its leaf shapes, the nomenclature cards with precise terminology, and the classification materials all develop the vocabulary and reasoning skills that scientists use.
This approach cultivates environmental stewardship. When children understand the structures of plants and the needs of animals, they develop a genuine desire to protect the natural world.
There must be provision for the child to have contact with nature, to understand and appreciate the order, the harmony and the beauty in nature.
