Thunderstorms occur at a rate of 2000 per day around the world. They are a vital natural process for the biosphere. When thunderstorms occur, a release of energy helps warm up the atmosphere and balance electrical charges.

We are excited to add to our series of natural habitats, The Coral Reef materials. The Coral Reef materials break down the parts of a coral reef to let children appreciate the beauty and benefits of such a natural habitat and reveal its vulnerability to neglect and damage. Learners will be able to distinguish the […]

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 […]

S.T.E.M. 6-12 Simple Machines We are excited to introduce our new materials that will help you support the study of simple machines! Simple machines are commonly studied as part of an effort to stimulate children’s natural curiosity and potential ingenuity. Simple machines are literally simple tools invented by humans to efficiently accomplish physical tasks that […]

The Periodic Table of the Elements (PTE) is at the heart of Montessori Cosmic Education. It provides an organized illustration of the building blocks of life, atoms. Children learn that the first element of hydrogen is the most abundant in the universe. It can be found in stars and the human body. Under immense pressure and […]

Chemistry, 6-12 We are pleased to introduce our brand new chemistry material, the Bohr’s Atomic Model – Complete Set! Chemistry begins with the study of the smallest building blocks of life, atoms. Atoms are still represented through many models aiming to replicate the probabilistic laws of quantum mechanics, with electrons unpredictably moving in a circular motion within […]

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 […]

Measurements are part of our daily lives. Children, especially in Montessori programs, have already been indirectly working with measurements. They learn time through their daily routine. They learn weight using calibrated materials (Pink Tower, Brown Prisms, Knobbed Cylinders…). They learn length when manipulating materials such as Red Rods and Numerical Rods. They observe volume when […]

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.
