Description
This material supports the Montessori biology curriculum. Children in primary level learn introductory knowledge about the parts and the functions of plants: root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit, and seed. In the elementary level, the classified nomenclature serves to help children understand certain physical and morphological aspects of plants. The material consists of 849 three-part cards, 48 wallcharts, and 46 booklets. The nomenclature cards contain a description, a label, and a picture card for matching purposes. The 48 wallcharts represent all the parts together. The booklets serve as control for error for the nomenclature matching work.
