About this listen

 (Second Edition, 2025) These science and arts "culture" lessons are taught in Montessori teacher-training course—physics, biology, history and geography, and the art. They prepare the child for the Cosmic Education of the Montessori elementary class, and are presented here in great detail. Also included are personal "filling in the gaps" assignments for the parent or teacher. During a lecture in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia I was asked to give explain Dr. Montessori’s idea of a cosmic task. I explained that, especially during the elementary (ages 6-12) years, when a child is introduced to the creation of the universe, the evolution of life on earth, and the culture of humans, he becomes aware of how everything is connected in some way, how each element has a task that fulfills his own needs and at the same time can contribute to the good of the whole. During that lecture in Mongolia, I looked down at the edge of the stage where there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers. One variety had bright red corollas composed of several large, flat petals.“Look at this flower. The color red, the shape of the flower, and perhaps the odor of the nectar, has evolved to attract just the right kind of pollinator that is needed by this specific flower. The flatness of the petal might give the pollinator a place to land to prepare for his work. While sipping nectar the pollinator will brush up against the stamens of the flower and some of the pollen on the stamens will become stuck to his body. He will then fly to the next red flower for another drink and the pollen will fall onto the head of the pistil where it will be drawn within and begin the process of forming seed. So while the pollinator is meeting his nutritional need, he is also meeting the need of the flowering plant to create seed and spread the species. And what else? The beauty of the flower has provided happiness and smiles for each one of us here at our Montessori workshop. This book contains directions for the adult, and the child to explore in detail the world of physics, botany, zoology, geography, history, music and art. The lessons are based on Montessori 3-6 teacher training. For elementary teachers and parents of children over the age of six, these experiments and activities are valuable as they provide real activities, simple physics experiments, valuable music and art activities, botany experiments and so on. With this basis all related academic studies in these areas will be better understood and so more likely to be retained. Education
