Culture and Science

Montessori often referred to the study of Science and Culture as “Cosmic Education” and included activities in Botany, Zoology, Geography, History, Culture, Art, and Music: activities that brought life and richness to the Montessori environment.

Montessori Culture and Science curriculum giving students the skills and knowledge needed to make discoveries about our world, which is, responsive to their developmental curiosity and aided by their absorbent minds.
By introducing lessons about the intricacies of our world early in their education, students are exposed to concepts like political geography, Earth science, and engineering, and are able to speak these concepts at a young age.
Students also begin to realise, at a young age, how interconnected these subjects are. In a Montessori classroom, students experience new ideas through hands-on learning and by using Montessori materials.
These materials are designed for each developmental level and become more complex as the grades progress, so that a student revisits a concept many times, but through materials and lessons most appropriate to their current cognitive ability.
 
This process, known as scaffolding, is a form of social learning where students are provided with the necessary support and guidance to progress from one level to the next.
