We are headed into high school science for last child and haven't been happy with anything we have used thus far. Apologia was too easy and predictable for all three of our children, so we switched to BJU for dd this year; i.e. 8th grade. The BJU is visually appealing and the text layout is better than Apologia. In fact, the BJU text has the feel of a college text, but dd figured out how to study for a good text grade so I am concerned it will be another check-the-box subject. We haven't gotten into the experiments so perhaps they will provide the spark. Because of this, I, too, have been checking into Greg Landry and have emailed him with a few questions. When I get a reponse, I will post.

P.S. I have replied to a few posts but haven't written an intro. We have graduated two from our homeschool and have a daughter in the 8th grade. We brought our sons home from p.s in 8th and 11th grade. Throughout the years, we have addressed many issues; i.e. homeschooling a student with others in p.s., bringing home older students, attempting to solve various learning problems, mentoring college for the struggling learner, and now, homeschooling only one. I joined the WTM forum because we are planning high school and tweaking what we did in the past and have already gleaned wonderful ideas. Many thanks.
