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 elementary level, children revisit the nomenclature more in depth. The material consists of 180 three-part cards, four booklets, and eight wallcharts. The three-part nomenclature cards introduce children to the various characteristics and functions of the human skeletal system. The nomenclature cards contain a description, a label, and a picture card for matching purposes. The eight wallcharts represent all the parts together. The booklet serves as control for error for the nomenclature matching work.
