TimeTEX Thermic Tablets "Montessori Premium"

The thermic tablets are used to stimulate the ability to distinguish thermal properties (warm, cool, cold).

The material isolates the thermal conductivity of different surfaces. It is used to refine the ability to recognize the temperature of surfaces. The activity is carried out with eyes closed or blindfolded. In this way, only the sense of touch is used and not looking for distinctions by sight.

The set consists of a beech wooden box divided into 5 compartments containing five pairs of 8 x 4 cm tablets made of stone, glass, cork, wood and metal.

Learning opportunities:

• perceive and classify temperature differences
• different materials create different temperature sensations
• learn to compare and describe temperatures
• stimulate sensitivity of the hands
• expand vocabulary

Methodological and pedagogical tips & further exercises:

• examine materials in the group room for their thermal conductivity
• find out whether heat stimuli are felt differently in different places
• find out which materials are good or less suitable for sitting on
• hold the tablets in your hand for longer and observe what changes
• cool the tablet in the fridge or warm it in the sun and describe your observations
