Parts of a Root Montessori Nomenclature cards
English and Spanish
Free
What's happening under the soil? A free Montessori botany work in two languages.
Roots do their work out of sight — which makes them fascinating to children. This nomenclature set, created by an AMI-trained Montessori guide, gives children the precise language to describe what they can't easily see. Every component comes in BOTH English and Spanish.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
3-part nomenclature cards (picture, label, control) for each part of the root
Definition cards (fact cards) with clear, child-friendly scientific descriptions
Blank fact cards: the definitions with the name missing, for reading comprehension and writing work
Both complete sets in English and in Spanish
AGES & USES
3–6: vocabulary building through the three-period lesson
6–9: definition matching, reading, and independent writing with the blank cards
A natural companion to sprouting experiments — grow a bean in a glass jar and watch the root parts appear in real life
WHY IT WORKS
Follows the authentic Montessori progression from concrete vocabulary to written language
Control of error built in for independent work
Genuinely bilingual: perfect for dual-language classrooms and bilingual homeschool families
