Q. Does this curriculum include real experiments or just activities?

A. Both, and the distinction is intentional. The Standard series (grades 3–8) includes true structured experiments specifically designed to teach the scientific method. These walk students through forming a hypothesis, collecting measurable data using tools like thermometers, stopwatches, and rulers, and drawing conclusions about whether their results supported their hypothesis. This is a meaningful distinction from many elementary science curriculums, which offer hands-on activities without the underlying scientific reasoning framework.
