    Apologia Human Anatomy - 9th grade student

    in High School and Self-Education Board

    Posted · Edited by cshell

    Have you checked out DIVE Biology?

     

    http://www.diveintomath.com

     

    This is a super course & you he supplies the syllabi to supplement his course with many popular Biology books. ( Apologia, BJU. Campbells)

    He has the video labs on the CD Rom & it costs about $50.00!!!

     

    You could supplement this course with both Apologia Bio & Ad Apologia Biology.

    This may work to use with both boys!

    When using both Apologia books...this is an Honors Biology course.

    My kiddo did this is 9th!

    Super course!

    *Scented candles??? They can give off Petro-chemicals that can cause cancer??

    I really like scented candles!!!:D

     

    But, I have recently heard & read about some studies showing they are not good for our health...some fumes even proven to cause breast cancer...???!!

     

    This is based on people who continually burn a lot of these candles & for long periods of time ~especially in enclosed areas--:tongue_smilie:

     

     

    Any thoughts??:001_smile:

    Starting Omnibus in 9th grade?

    in High School and Self-Education Board

    Posted · Edited by cshell

    We started Omnibus III....because this is what VP says they use for 9th.

    I tried to follow their plan ( both primary & secondary books....) ---so, that the credit we give him could be verified by VP if needed.

     

    I really think both Omnibus I & III study very challenging books....the difference is simply the way they are studied. Ominibus I - Logic stage & Omnibus III- Rhetoric. If questioned about the program...I just wanted it to follow the plan set out by VP.

     

    (Although, many people have used Ominbus I,II & III....for high school before the others existed!)

    Now we just have a choice!:D

     

    I am sure either way is just fine.

     

    Have fun!

    We really have enjoyed using Omnibus!

    I hate this!

    Thank you for reminding me to just take time off....& recharge!:001_smile:

     

    I think I need to work this into my life all year long!

    It would be more fun to pace myself with fun stops to recharge --instead of waiting until I have this large block of time.

    By the time I get to this "large block of time".....I feel drained.

     

     

    SO, thank you for your encouraging words!!

    ....I am off to ....."window shop, read magazines at Barnes & Nobles & sip some Starbucks ...all by myself"!!!!;)

    Are you tired ...."Of all the planning, buying, scheduling, THINKING about homeschooling!"

     

     

    I am sooo there!!:tongue_smilie:

     

    I have decided I need to get my priorities in order....& not lose myself in "homeschooling"

    I think we all need to remember to take time out & take care of ourselves!

    It is lovely to think for myself....!

     

    So, set the planning books aside & relax.

    Plan some "Mommy Nights out" & pamper yourself.

    We all wear ALOT of hats.....it really is a freeing experience to shed a few during the summer!

     

    Enjoy & Relax!!:iagree:
