Early Childhood - Science Experiments: Magnetic vs. Non-magnetic

In the Montessori classroom, science experiences are more than experiments! Our goal is to help build and foster a scientific and inquisitive mind. Students are exposed to all areas of science through hands-on materials and experiments. Through experiments, like sorting Magnetic and Non-Magnetic items, children learn to observe, predict, and analyze results. Exploring the concept of magnetism through concrete materials satisfies their natural desire to understand how things work. Once they discover whether an item is magnetic or not, they are able to sort them into the correct column, which can boost their literacy and language skills through learning descriptive words.

Toddler - Magnetic vs. Non-magnetic

Toddler science experiences are more than experiments! Our goal is to help build and foster a scientific and inquisitive mind. Students are exposed to all areas of science through hands-on materials and experiments. We integrate science topics with vocabulary building exercises, examining things in nature, books, and songs. Simple science tools are a part of the classroom curriculum, like this material, magnetic vs. non-magnetic. This student is developing his control of movement, impulse control, and coordination skills, all while exploring the properties of magnetism through cause and effect when some objects lift, and others do not.

Toddler - Velcro Dressing Frame

The purpose of the dressing frames is to build concentration, coordination, and control of movement while encouraging children to become more independent as they learn to care for themselves.

As the child has more coordination and control of movement, these become easier and they move on to more challenging frames, such as tying or buckling. Dr. Montessori believed that, "Any child who is self-sufficient, who can tie his shoes, dress or undress himself, reflects in his joy and sense of achievement the image of human dignity, which is derived from a sense of independence." The child who is able to say, "I did it all by myself!" has a feeling of joy and accomplishment and a sense of belonging in his world.
