Remembering my struggle and poor grades in my high school physics class, I shied away from teaching it myself and went with an online course. I chose Principles of Physics by Kinetic Books. They have three different courses based on math preference. My son liked it a lot, and the online physics lab is pretty cool. I plan on using it again next year for son #2. http://www.perfectionlearning.com/kinetic-physics

Neither of my ds are going into a STEM career. Physical science looked so dull, so I skipped it and let them choose 2 semester sciences of their choice before moving on to Bio, Chem, Physics. One chose astronomy and horticulture, the other geology and marine biology. I agree that your son should probably stick with sciences related to his field, but I don't think skipping physical science will be an issue. It did not hinder my two non-sciency kids in the least.

No prep for PSAT. I knew my ds wouldn't score high enough for the merit scholarship, so we did it just for the test taking experience. If your child is taking it with the hopes of qualifying for the scholarship, then by all means prep for it.

My oldest ds used Teaching Textbooks and did Geometry in between Alg 1 and 2 without difficulties, but math comes easily to him. My middle ds used Prentice Hall Geometry this last year following Lial Algebra 1. The Prentice Hall had some kind of algebra review workbook problems in nearly every lesson. We'll be heading back to Lial for Alg 2 in the fall, hoping that it won't be a difficult transition back to algebra.

I used Principles of Physics with the Kolbe Academy solutions with my older son. My middle ds struggles with math, so PoP is out. I'd like to try their First Person Physics, but I'm concerned about not having any supplemental material. For those who use it, do they provide all the answers, and is there a way to keep track of scores? Does anyone find it difficult to use in a homeschool setting? Thanks! Savermom

Literature list for 9th - what do you think?
Savermom replied to K&Rs Mom's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I would choose only one Dante work. We read "Inferno," which I thought was somewhat interesting but, my ds did not. Now he has to read the other two in college this semester. Poor boy. My second ds just read Aristophanes "The Birds" and found it funny. The Lego Movie takes a reference from it. -
I put TBD where the grade goes, and the date (month/year) the course will be completed.

Has anyone done a 5-yr high school?
Savermom replied to Savermom's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Great thoughts! Thank you all. A month ago I scheduled his day hoping that would help keep him on track. For instance, 9:00-10:00 AM English, etc for all of his classes, lunch, and breaks. His last one is Geometry at 3:30. He will finish between 9:00 PM or the next day if we have an evening activity. (Boy Scouts on Tuesdays, and church Wednesdays). We are doing English, Literature, Geometry, Biology (3 months behind), German, Ancients History. We were supposed to do a 1 semester Gov't, but he begged to do it over the summer because it was too much. I am in the room with him most of t -
Diplomas? What's your take? What are the options?
Savermom replied to mindygz's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I used www.homeschooldiploma.com last year. They have a good selection, and the quality is very nice.
