We have all seen our students’ eyes lighten up after one of the great lessons, but what about teaching the rest of the science concepts? Despite having a beautiful and very complete set of nomenclature & three part science cards in our Montessori shelves, not all guides are sure of what is the best way to use them to foster children's curiosity, inquiry, and critical and creative thinking skills.
