One such area of study is the exploration of different types of energy. Using specially designed Montessori materials, learners are offered an opportunity to make inquiries and discoveries.

Classification of Organic Compounds, Ages 9-12

When scientists look at organic compounds, they notice some patterns and differences that can help them group them together. They look at the number of carbon atoms, what other elements are attached to those carbon atoms, and how the atoms are arranged. Based on these patterns and differences, scientists have grouped organic compounds into different categories.

Parts of a Thunderstorm, Ages 6-12

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. 

Bohr Atomic Model

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 […]
