Seafloor Spreading, Ages 6-9

Seafloor Spreading

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. 

Landmarks of the World, Ages 9-12

Our Montessori material, “Landmarks of the World,” is a great way to introduce elementary learners to some of the most famous landmarks in the world. The material consists of two large charts, 88 movable pictures, and 88 research cards, which provide information about each landmark. 

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.

Physical Changes in States of Matter, Ages 6-12

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.

Types of Chemical Bonds, Ages 9-12

Everything around us is made up of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms are like the building blocks of matter. Chemical bonds are the forces that hold atoms together in a molecule or a compound. Like Lego blocks snap together to make a structure, atoms join together through chemical bonds to form different substances.

Parts of a Microscope, Ages 6-12

Parts of a Microscope, Ages 6-12- 13

In the Montessori method, science education holds a significant place as it encourages children to explore and understand the natural world. One essential tool in scientific exploration is the microscope, allowing students to investigate the microscopic world that lies beyond our naked eye. Therefore, we are excited to introduce our new puzzle, Parts of a Microscope, which unravels the intricacies of the microscope and its components.

Parts of Vertebrae, Ages 9+

The human vertebrae are the individual bones that make up our spine or backbone, which runs from the base of our skull to our lower back. We have 33 vertebrae, and they serve many important functions.

Rational & Irrational Numbers, Ages 8-12

Rational & Irrational Numbers, Ages 8-12

It is important to learn to classify numbers because it helps us understand the different types of numbers and how they are related to each other. For example, if children are solving a math problem, they need to know what type of number they are working with in order to choose the correct operation.

Motion, Ages 9+

Motion is a fundamental concept in physics, and children need to understand it from a young age. One way to help children learn about motion is to use a concrete material, such as our new exclusive puzzle, Motion.

Biome Puzzles, Ages 6-12

Biome Puzzles, Ages 6-12

he study of biomes is an important part of the Montessori curriculum, as it helps children understand the diversity of life on Earth and the interconnectedness of all living things. Biomes are large areas of the Earth with similar climates and plant and animal life. With our new materials, Biomes Puzzle Maps, children can see how the Earth is divided into biomes, regardless of political borders. Our puzzles contain major biomes such as tropical rainforests, deserts, grasslands, temperate forests, mountains, wetlands, and tundra.
