🌍 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
In Montessori cosmic education, we teach children that Earth is an interconnected system—biomes aren't random, they're determined by latitude, rainfall, and temperature patterns. These cards introduce the vocabulary, but the real learning happens when children discover *why* rainforests grow near the equator and tundra exists at the poles. Use these as a starting point for deeper investigation.
