Welcome to our Montessori Science Animal Zoology class for Grades 1-3! Ignites their curiosity about the animal kingdom, fosters a deep understanding of biological concepts, and builds foundational knowledge for future scientific studies. Through engaging and hands-on activities, children explore the diverse world of animals and their vital roles in our ecosystem.

We are proud to be the first and only accredited Montessori school on the Outschool platform, featuring certified teachers who bring their expertise from our brick-and-mortar school located in Ontario, Canada.

In this class, children will delve into the fascinating world of zoology, learning about the animal kingdom, the basic needs of animals, the differences between vertebrates and invertebrates, and the human body. The goal is to provide a comprehensive introduction to zoology, encouraging children to observe, classify, and appreciate the complexity of living organisms.


Topics Covered

Animal Kingdom: Children will explore the major classifications within the animal kingdom, learning to identify and categorize various species based on their characteristics and behaviors. This will include discussions on mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and more.

Needs of Animals: Students will learn about the fundamental needs of animals, such as food, water, shelter, and space. They will investigate how different animals meet these needs in their respective habitats.

Vertebrates and Invertebrates: The class will cover the distinctions between vertebrates (animals with backbones) and invertebrates (animals without backbones). Children will examine examples of each group and understand their unique anatomical features.

Human Body: Students will also explore the human body as part of the animal kingdom, focusing on basic anatomy and physiology. This includes understanding the major organ systems and their functions.


Class Structure

Each session will begin with a brief lecture on the day's topic, providing children with a clear understanding of what they will be exploring. The teacher will then demonstrate the materials or worksheets needed for the activity, showing step-by-step how to complete the task. Following the demonstration, children will have the opportunity to try the activity independently, while the teacher observes and provides real-time feedback. This hands-on approach ensures that children learn through experience while receiving the support they need to succeed.

Our teaching style is fun, engaging, and productive. We believe that learning should be an enjoyable experience that stimulates curiosity and a love for discovery. By creating a positive and supportive atmosphere, we aim to keep students motivated and eager to participate.

Students will have ample opportunities to interact with the teacher and their peers throughout the class. The small group setting ensures that each child receives personalized attention and has the chance to actively participate in all activities. We incorporate a variety of teaching methods, including interactive games, discussions, slides, and occasional video clips, to make lessons dynamic and relatable.


Join us in the Montessori Zoology class, where we help young learners explore the wonders of the animal kingdom. Through engaging activities and a supportive learning environment, we prepare them for future academic success in science, while fostering a lifelong curiosity and appreciation for the natural world.
