A prepared Montessori environment provides endless opportunities to explore science. When children use their senses, interests, and natural curiosity, the sky is the limit! Perfect, right? Well…sometimes that limitless opportunity can be overwhelming and confusing. You might ask yourself, “Where do I start?” “There’s just too much to cover,” or “What if I am less confident in teaching elementary-level science?”
Join this webinar to discuss how to organize a Montessori 3-year curriculum cycle in science to make sure you’re including cross-curricular, hands-on, inquiry-based activities. You’ll leave with a plan, and most importantly, feeling confident that you can teach elementary science regardless of your current knowledge in science.
