Teaching Science in Early Childhood
Join us for an enriching workshop that explores the world of Montessori science education in the early childhood classroom. In this comprehensive session, we'll explore how Montessori principles seamlessly integrate physics, botany, and zoology into a dynamic curriculum that ignites curiosity and fosters an understanding of scientific concepts. Through hands-on exploration and experiential learning, participants will discover how the Montessori approach cultivates a love for science while laying a solid foundation for future STEM success. From exploring properties of matter to investigating plant and animal life cycles, we'll share practical strategies and engaging activities that inspire young learners to become enthusiastic scientists. Whether you're a seasoned Montessori educator or new to the approach, this workshop offers valuable insights and resources to enhance your science curriculum and promote meaningful STEM learning experiences.
