The way objects move and interact with each other is a constant source of curiosity for young minds. Children naturally observe and question the forces at play, from bouncing balls to rolling cars. In the upper elementary Montessori classroom, we can guide this curiosity toward a deeper understanding of the world by introducing Newton’s laws of motion.

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.

Physical changes in states of matter is a topic that falls under the branch of physical science known as chemistry. It focuses on understanding the different states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) and how they can undergo changes without altering their chemical composition. In the Montessori curriculum, chemistry is introduced through water, which is an excellent component to demonstrate many physical changes in matter, such as condensation, evaporation, deposition, freezing, boiling, and melting.
