Does Lumi science include experiments?
Lumi's science lessons are digital and voice-guided — they teach concepts, vocabulary, and reasoning, not hands-on lab procedures. Many families combine Lumi for conceptual instruction with simple at-home experiments for the hands-on component.
Is Lumi science aligned to NGSS?
Lumi's science curriculum covers the core disciplinary ideas in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for each grade band. Specific lesson alignment may vary, but the major concepts at each grade level are all covered.
