SusanAR Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I've finally decided to use PH Chemistry for next year (after ordering, viewing, and returning texts from several different publishers. :lol: I would like to use the Home Chem Lab, but it is a bit costly. Is the Micro Chem kit sufficient for ds who plans a major in the sciences? Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Hen Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'm using the microchem 5000 set with my 7th grader. It is OK for him, ok IMHO as a middle school lab and it was wonderful for my older son when he was in 7th grade but I wish I had known about the Real Chemistry book back then. Janice in NJ told us about it in this thread: http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76733 I purchased it but haven't decided how I'm going to use it.

Carole Yea, that is the book I'm referring to. The home page is Home Chem Lab- http://www.homechemlab.com/ The lab supplies are so costly, but I guess that is what it will take if I choose to do Chemistry at home!

Kareni Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I thought I'd clarify that the MicroChem kit my teen used is different from the one that Blue Hen mentioned above. Here's a link to it: MicroChem Kit. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Did your teen use this (the MicroChem Kit) for Chemistry in high school? Yes, she did as a 10th grader. My husband oversaw this course and used a General Chemistry book by Ebbing. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
