Understanding the interconnectedness of Earth’s systems is crucial to understanding our planet’s complexities. The concept of the four spheres—hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere—provides a framework for analyzing how these systems interact and influence one another.
Learn more about our new material, Pressure Variations Puzzle – Complete Set. Atmospheric pressure is the force the air around us exerts on everything it touches. It may seem invisible, but it affects many aspects of our lives, such as the weather, the climate, and even how we breathe.
We are excited to introduce a new addition to our geoscience selection of materials! Seafloor Spreading (6-9) Complete Set. The study of the seafloor spreading compliments our work on Map of the Ocean Floor Puzzle and Oceanic Landforms Puzzle.
The Ring of Fire is a region of the Earth’s crust that is home to many volcanoes and earthquakes. It is a vast area that stretches around the Pacific Ocean, and it is responsible for some of the most destructive natural disasters in history. In the Montessori curriculum, students learn about the Ring of Fire as part of their study of geology.
Our new educational material consists of a stunning set of five puzzles representing the drifts, which can be used to help children visualize the process of continental drift and learn about the different periods in Earth’s history. In addition to the puzzles, our material Tectonic Plates Complete Set also includes five control charts, 47 research cards on the topic of continental drift, as well as 25 task cards children can work on to reflect and learn more. The complete set includes two wooden storage boxes.
The Rock Layers of the Grand Canyon Puzzle with Nomenclature Cards is one of Alison Montessori’s exclusive materials. Rock Layers of the Grand Canyon is a cross-disciplinary material that links the Timeline of Life to the study of rocks and fossils. It is believed that ancient mountains have given way to an inland ocean, which […]
What is under our feet? We could say a mix of organic and inorganic matter such as decayed animals, plants, and weathered rocks which form layers. Bedrock is the foundation of layers in the soil. It is often buried under vegetation and unconsolidated materials but can be observed on mountain tops, near water streams, or […]
Functional Geography and Geology are studied in the Montessori program at the beginning of the elementary level and continue to be explored for years. Children are introduced to rock studies to understand the chemistry and physical science responsible for geochemical cycles such as the Rock Cycle.
Elementary children have a fascination for natural disasters. They are frightening and intriguing at the same time. When children understand what causes natural disasters, their fear tends to transform into amazement! The tectonic plates are encountered several times in the Montessori curriculum through geology, functional geography, and history. Children learn that the Earth’s crust is […]
