Product Overview
- Designed with our easy cut system - 5 cuts or less. Requires only 3 cuts.
- Printed on premium thick card stock. May be used unlaminated or laminated
Designed specifically for upper-elementary Montessori environments, this classified nomenclature set turns abstract chemistry vocabulary into concrete work children can handle, read, and master in a single lesson cycle.
What your child will explore
-
Whole atom — the tiniest unit that still behaves like an element.
-
Sub-atomic particles — protons, neutrons, and electrons, each with its defining charge.
-
Nucleus and orbitals — where the particles “live” and how they influence atomic number.
-
Basic charge balance — linking particle counts to positive, negative, or neutral atoms.
Every definition is written in child-friendly language so learners can pronounce, copy, and truly understand each term.
What’s inside the packet
-
Control cards with full-color graphics, printed labels, and precise definitions.
-
Picture cards (no labels) for recall and matching.
-
Movable label to strengthen reading, spelling, and scientific vocabulary.
-
Definition cards—full text on one side, cloze (fill-in-the-blank) on the other—for copy-work or quick assessment.
-
Separate label card to keep the work organized on a mat or tray.
Homeschool-friendly advantages
-
Instant readiness — print two cards per page, cut along straight lines, and you’re shelf-ready in under an hour. Prefer zero prep? Order the full-plastic option that arrives wipe-clean, rounded-corner, and ready for immediate use.
-
Self-correcting design — control cards give children instant feedback, freeing you to observe rather than hover.
-
Classic Montessori progression — supports three-period lessons and connects seamlessly to cosmic stories, impressionistic charts, and follow-up writing.
-
Cross-curricular reach — spark math extensions on atomic numbers, language studies on Greek and Latin roots (proton means “first”), or history research into how scientists discovered sub-atomic particles.
-
Budget-conscious durability — print on cardstock for now, upgrade to factory-printed plastic later; sizes and layout never change.
