When children learn about science at Montessori school, they learn how everything in the world operates--including themselves. This gives them a bigger perspective on life as they learn that the universe is larger and more fascinating than they could have imagined.

Science Encourages Natural Curiosity

As professor Kate Susman notes, children are naturally curious about the world. When they walk through the park, they ask questions about the sky, trees, grass, and animals. Science encourages their curiosity by giving them the knowledge that they crave. Mountain West Montessori Academy urges children to ask questions and approach the world around them with greater understanding.

Science also teaches children about the difference between facts and hypotheses. Nothing is certain--and this fact stimulates your child's curiosity even further. They learn how to question facts and back up their claims with hard data. As they test their own hypotheses at their Montessori school, they'll learn about critical thinking and the importance of first-hand research.

Science Teaches Responsibility

Learning about the environment means seeing the effects of pollution and global warming. As your child learns about climate change, they realize that they have a responsibility to reduce waste, cut electricity use and search for environmentally friendly alternatives to their favorite products. Your child will carry this knowledge into adulthood and educate others about the environment.

Science Prepares the Next Generation of Researchers

Just knowing about science isn't enough for scientific breakthroughs. You need research to uncover new data and make breakthroughs that change the lives of people throughout the world. Science prepares the next generation of researchers to enter the field. They'll continue their predecessors' research and advance medical, social, engineering, agricultural, technology, and scientific fields for the next generations.
