The Montessori teacher can also connect children to the universe with the timeline of Life. The Timeline of Life shows how life forms arise, exist for time, and decline and so on over billions of years. There is a continuous cycle of birth, existence, death, rebirth, until we get to modern times. All this has happened on the planet that has been self-regulating until very recently. We play a role in the ongoing development of the Earth. We are subject to all of the laws of the universe. The Montessori teacher can use the Timeline of Life to reflect upon the celestial bodies of the universe and Earth. It can also be used to put the idea of ongoing creation of the universe into the children’s thought.
