So let’s say that you are gearing up to teach a Montessori science lesson (such as one of the phenomenal lessons found in Learn Libre!). You could easily look through the online classroom and find a lesson you want your learner or group of learners to watch. Or maybe you’re a teacher who wants to…
We love making engaging and compelling science experiments for children to use in classrooms and homeschool environments. We always say that the lesson is only the beginning, but it’s important to recognize that the experiment doesn’t have to be the final destination! That’s why it’s important to create space in your learning environment for children…
Science is an important subject for young learners. Understanding science gives students the tools they need to understand the world around them. Traditional teaching techniques are not always the most effective way to help students learn. Maria Montessori developed a new teaching method in the early 20th century.
