This is a dynamic, hands-on curriculum designed to transform the periodic table from a static chart into a powerful learning experience that brings chemistry to life for students. This comprehensive curriculum goes beyond memorization, inviting students to explore the properties, relationships, and significance of each element in an interactive and engaging way, perfectly aligned with Montessori’s experiential learning philosophy.
Unique Features:
-
Active Exploration of the Elements: Students delve into each element, investigating its unique properties, uses, and significance. This approach fosters a deeper understanding of the elements as interconnected parts of the natural world rather than isolated symbols on a chart.
-
Hands-On Materials for Engaging Learning: With visually rich cards and manipulatives, students engage in activities that allow them to classify, organize, and compare elements. This tactile interaction encourages retention and understanding, making chemistry accessible to all types of learners.
-
Structured for Progressive Learning: Designed to grow with students, this curriculum introduces younger learners to foundational concepts and guides older students through more complex ideas, such as atomic structure and chemical behavior. The curriculum supports inquiry-based learning, allowing students to ask questions and seek answers through hands-on activities.
-
Aligned with Montessori’s Scientific Approach: This curriculum embodies the Montessori philosophy of encouraging observation, experimentation, and analysis. Students aren’t just learning facts—they’re developing skills in scientific thinking that will carry through their academic journey.
-
Encourages a Lifelong Love for Science: By approaching chemistry as an interactive experience, the ETC Montessori Periodic Table Curriculum turns what might feel like an abstract subject into an engaging exploration. Students are empowered to see connections and understand the real-world implications of chemistry, fostering curiosity and enthusiasm for scientific discovery.
We designed this set of materials as a way to help students build a strong, lasting foundation in chemistry through exploration, interaction, and critical thinking. It gives students the opportunity of a truly immersive chemistry experience, helping them connect the dots in a way that brings learning to life.
Each element has an actual picture of where and how it is used in our everyday lives. We recommend using The Periodic Table (ELC-4074) with this material.
