Montessori Community Gathering – Properties of Matter Workshop

The volunteer team of the Bat Yam Montessori community, in cooperation with the Community Department of the Bat Yam Municipality,

invites parents and children in grades 2–5 to a community meeting on the properties of matter: capillarity, heat conduction, and buoyancy.

The workshop “Properties of Matter” invites us to take a fresh look at the materials around us and ask: How can we characterize them? Are they transparent or opaque? Heavy or light? Do they reflect light, respond to a magnet, or bend? Together, we will learn about different properties of materials and discover what lies behind them.

During the meeting, we will connect the properties of matter to phenomena familiar from everyday life and conduct experiments in which we examine different materials, compare them, and map their properties. Through questions and hands-on exploration, we will learn to observe materials closely, identify their similarities and differences, and better understand the world around us.

The meeting will be led by Tzlil Ben-Baruch, who holds an AMI certificate in Montessori education for ages 6–12, is an educator for ages 6–9 and 9–12, a multidisciplinary teacher, and a science-subject coordinator for 11 years at the “Derech HaYeled” Montessori School in Kfar Hayarok.

Sunday, 6 December, 10:30–12:00, at the Community House, 50 HaHashmonaim Street, Bat Yam.

*Please note: photographs will be taken during the meeting and uploaded to the community’s WhatsApp and Facebook groups, as well as to municipal platforms. Registrants who do not wish to be photographed are asked to inform the community team on the day of the meeting.
