vettechmomof2 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 My daughter has now made a slight change and would like to do chemistry instead of physics next year now. So, we are evaluating some different courses. What I am looking for is an open and close book. For labs we decided to follow the Illustrated chem labs. So looking for opinions on families who have used Chang's : does this have a teachers guide that is easy to find and get my hands on? Spectrum : It appears to be thorough with a usable teacher guide but is it? I thought Conceptual but it seems almost too easy??? Any thoughts of assistance for me. I have read through all of the chemistry link and often but now need some extra detail if possible. My daughter has potential plans to go into a STEM field. Thanks!

vettechmomof2 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 My daughter looked at all of the samples that we could for these courses and she feels that Spectrum might be it. So we believe we will try that one for next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningGlory Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 You will not need the illlustrated chem labs then. Spectrum's labs are quite thorough...they are the primary strength of that course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettechmomof2 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks for that info. Yes, as we finished looking through the samples of Spectrum's info that was our conclusion as well. Good to know though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
