merylvdm Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I have just been contacted by the mom of one of my online students. She was planning to use Landry Academy for biology and chemistry labs for her son and now does not know what to do. She in East TN and is prepared to travel. My own kids just did their labs at home (and my brother-in-law is a doctor so he did dissections with them) so I have no idea what her options are. She does not want to enroll him at a community college as they can't be locked into a schedule like that as her son is an actor. So she is looking for an intensive camp like Landry offered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegGuheert Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Our daughter did an anatomy camp with Landry years ago because we didn't know how to do something like that here. I do not know about other camp he offered or what level of biology or chemistry she is looking for, but we just purchased this kit for AP Chemistry from Quality Science Labs. We chose this kit since it was very affordable for what it covered. I have created and submitted a syllabus to the College Board based on Zumdahl and this kit but it came back to me for bureaucratic reasons. I need to resubmit it this month to get it wrapped up. I see they also have an advanced biology kit as well. They have other biology labs, as well. Sorry if that's not what you are looking for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 On the Landry Families FB page there are some people talking about planning intensives. I have seen TN and Atlanta mentioned. She could try to connect over there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 :lurk5: I hate dealing with labs. Just saying, if someone wants to plan some intensives in the southern-greater-Houston area I would happily pay through the nose for them. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxbridgeacademy Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Do you have a link to the FB page? I looked it up but can't seem to find it. I would love to find a group that's meeting in TN for Lab intensives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Hmm...I can't figure out how to link on my phone but I put "Landry Academy" in the search bar and it comes up. Someone just posted a list of intensives. Looks like the teacher that was doing them for Landry? . Nothing in TN but Atlanta, NC and SC have intensives scheduled.

Just saying, if someone wants to plan some intensives in the southern-greater-Houston area I would happily pay through the nose for them. :) If you can't find an intensive (although it looks like Houston has one scheduled) Houston Museum of Natural Science offers 4 dissections a year plus several physical science experiences for high schoolers. You can book them through many homeschool groups or at this homeschool mom's business: http://homeschoolandbeyond.com/Homeschool_And_Beyond/HAB-Welcome%21.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even have a membership there and I had no clue this existed! The Mummies would've been awesome. We went to that exhibit back in November. It was crazy.
