Introducing a new set of materials to implement physical science in the lower elementary classroom.
STEM - Electricity
Designed to keep Montessori updated with current educational implementation of science technology and engineering.
Although the Montessori method has used a project based learning approach for years, this new set of modules introduces the engineering and science approach that is not found in the traditional Montessori process.
Aligned to Next Generation Science Standards
Includes Teacher's notes with precise presentations and background information to give teachers the knowledge and confidence to easily present the materials and projects.
Explorations in
- Static electricity
- Battery terminals
- Operation of a hover board
- Electrical conductivity
- Light and electricity
- Flow of electricity
- Conductors of electricity
- Introduction to circuits
- Circuits in series
- Parallel circuits, and
- Three STEM projects
With an open ended inquiry approach the children are presented with opportunities to have in-depth conversations based on a spiraled set of explorations.
