MONTESSORI INSPIRED : Classification




Classification 

 The discovery of the multitude of kinds
 of plants and animals helps children 
understand why there must be a system
of sorting and naming them classification. 


Children want to know how and why
 plants and animals have been classified
 and how the systems of classification 
change as we learn more about biology. 


When subjects flow into each other 
like this, a child following an interest,
 the knowledge is in a sense recreated by
 the child and becomes a part  of his long
 term memory, instead of a subject to be 
memorized, tested on and forgotten. 


Biology often becomes 
lifelong interest for these children.
