Science Nomenclature Cards

Parts of a Leaf Nomenclature Cards

Objective:  Nomenclature cards teach vocabulary or names of things.  Indirectly they can teach a non-reader to closely examine words and identify the patterns to match the label to the control card.

Ages: 4 - 12 years
Control of Error:  The control cards (diagram with attached label) provide control of error.

Presentation:  Bring the nomenclature cards to a work surface.  Use the Three Period Lesson to introduce the cards.  Arrange the diagram cards and place the matching label under the card.  Use the control cards as necessary.  When completed, return the cards to the shelf.

Extension:  The child can use a blank set of cards to color and label for his own use.

Specifics:  These Science Nomenclature Cards were created by Polestar Private School.
