This coming year, my 11th grade ds will have Chemistry. So far, my plan is to have him participate in a lab class which meets twice a month for 2 hours. I have several living books/texts but I’m just not sure how to fit them all in; they all look so good and worth reading. I have Apologia’s 2nd edition and was reading through the first module last night. I have no doubt that my ds will enjoy the text but, for him, it will be a lot reading and my hope was to get in a biography or two. (We could use audio books, I know.)
If you went this route, how did you fit it all in?? I don’t know why, but last year when he did Biology, it seemed easier to fit in the extra books. I have looked at other ideas about putting together your own curriculum for Chemistry, like on Barb Harmony’s site (I think). But my health is an issue these days and I don’t know how much help I will be other than handing him the material and helping him with resources for explanations, etc.
If you have done Chemistry with your children lately, could you offer some suggestions??
