Description
This material is part of a series of nomenclature cards supporting the Montessori biology curriculum for elementary learners. Children in primary level learned the anatomical nomenclature. In the elementary level, children revisit the nomenclature more in depth. The material consists of 78 three-part cards, two booklets, and three wallcharts. The three-part nomenclature cards introduce children to the various parts and functions of the human nervous system. The nomenclature cards contain a description, a label, and a picture card for matching purposes. The three wallcharts represent all the parts together. The booklets serve as control for error for the nomenclature matching work.
