THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!

Hi, I'm looking for Sonlight Science 350 schedule/plans that use the OLDER textbook, Apologia Chemistry, 2nd Edition, by Jay Wile. The current Sonlight Science 350 uses Apologia Chemistry 3rd edition, which has a new author and reportedly is much different than the earlier format and style. Please let me know if you have Science 350 plans/schedule arranged for the 2nd. Ed. Chemistry Textbook to sell. We don't need the supplies, only the plans. If you have a 2nd. Edition Apologia Chem. Textbook and/or Solutions, we may be interested in that as well. Thanks very much!NO VALUE SPECIFIED

Hi, I'm interested in finding out more about Zumdahl's Chemistry textbooks. I'm thinking of using Zumdahl with DIVE Chemistry. Does anyone have experience with Zumdahl, especially using it with the DIVE Chem CD-Rom program? Thanks for any feedback!

Hi, I haven't visited the WTM boards for quite a while, but I know when I have questions I can usually find answers here! I trust this community's opinions and value your feedback. So...my son has finished up Exploring Creation/Apologia High School Biology and is ready to move on to Chemistry. He's not a sciencey kid, but is great at math. Our plan is to stick with science basics: one year of Bio, one of Chem, one of Physics. My younger, more science-oriented student plans to use their Human Anatomy, as well. Though we adhere to an evolution rather than creation/design theory, we've found the Apologia science curriculum to be excellent and planned to stick with it. My kids have learned so much from the Bio program and thoroughly enjoy it! Tonight I intended to order Apologia H.S. Chemistry 3rd edition, but noticed poor reviews on both Rainbow Resource and Christian Book. Not expecting that. Has anyone here tried the new 3rd Ed. Chemistry? There's a new author and some changes, apparently. What do you think of the program and how does it compare to the earlier editions? Have you or your kids struggled with the format or solutions/problems? Science is NOT my strong suit, especially math-based, abstract fields like Chem and Physics. My kids have been able to study the H.S. Biology together at their own pace, indulging their separate interests. I was hoping the Chemistry program would be like that, too. After seeing the complaints in the review section, I'm worried now. Please share your experiences and any recommendations, opinions, feedback! Much appreciation! Thanks!

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has used the instructional videos from Apologia for high school science classes. They're pricey, especially because the family is only **renting** the instructional video for 1 year rather than purchasing it. We've used Apologia Biology this year **without** any instructional help. My student is an independent worker, and has done fine. Next year we'll be moving on to Chemistry, which I anticipate to be much tougher--at least for me! This subject was my downfall in school. I'm sweating bullets just thinking about buying the books. My student is very strong in math, though, and has Algebra 2 under his belt. He loves math, but isn't a big science fan. The equations in chemistry may actually appeal to him in a way biologic science does not. But he doesn't have a lot of science experience, and I'm not capable of sufficiently explaining chemistry concepts as questions arise. Because my student doesn't care much for science, we're planning to study 1 year each of the high school basics: biology, chemistry, and physics. Considering his talent in math, I want to make sure he studies chem and physics, rather than exploring general science or advanced biology. Discovering that Apologia offers instructional videos was a relief, but the price....yikes!!! We're respect Creationism, but personally subscribe to a different "worldview". Still, I'm sticking with Apologia Science since my kids are comfortable with the format and the curriculum is satisfactorily rigorous. If you've used their instruction streaming programs, I'd love to hear some feedback, opinions, and experiences!!! Tell me what you think, good, bad, ugly! And was the 1 year video rental worth the price to you and your student(s)? Much appreciation for any input! Thanks!

WTM moms, how can I reclaim my education?

Do you like Deductive Reasoning Exercises? If so, there's a series of mind-stimulating, fun workbooks called Mind Benders published by the Critical Thinking Company. I love these! A couple of years ago I worked through the series to bring my brain back from the dead, so to speak. It felt great, a real self-esteem booster! Start with the first book, A1, even though the level is easy-peasy. A1 is mandatory, as it teaches **how** to approach the exercises and work them through to the end. The Fallacy Detective is fun and interesting, as well. I just ordered a used copy of John Seely's Oxford Everyday Grammar to read myself for fun! Strunk and White's small, pity book on usage and grammar is indispensable. Eats, Shoots, and Leaves is a fun book on grammar. Check out the Wm. Zinsser's On Writing Well, too. If you don't have large chunks of time to devote to novels, focus on short stories, plays, and poetry for now. That's my veteran mom of 3 tip! hahaha : ) -
