“Scientific observation then has established that education is not what the teacher gives; education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences upon the environment.”  ~ Maria Montessori

I am a sucker for a good go-to reference book for seeking out activities for my young children. I’ve collected these books for learning science with kids over time from various recommendations throughout my Montessori training and library discoveries. I recommend these books for teaching and learning science with kids because of the activities and the general approach to teaching and learning.
