Mom22ns Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 What science? Physics, physical science or biology? Christian or secular? What history? Ancients, some other place in a 4-yr cycle? World or American? Again secular or Christian? You'll get better advice if you give us a little more to go on. If you don't know where to go, tell us about jr high and the students goals.

sweetsouthern Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 christian based would be helpful :) dd wants to be a stay at home mom that homeschools her kids. honestly, thats her goal at the moment. history needs to be u.s., world and government (3 credits) science only needs to be biology (although she likes astronomy) but needs 3 credits as well. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3andme Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Just some ideas that might meet your criteria. Free ----------------- CK12 Textbooks - these are free online textbooks. Hippocampus offers free science and history courses correlated with major textbooks Georgia Public Broadcasting Chemistry and Physics Virtual Home School Group offers self-paced Apologia science courses for free - although you would need to buy the books. PASS Curriculum for Sciences and Social Studies Annenberg Learning - courses in Science and Social Studies Curriculums focused on Independent Learning but not free: --------------------------------------------------------------- DIVE Science DVDs Red Wagon Tutorial DVDs - aligned with Apologia Science Apologia Science Science Shepard Life and Biological Sciences Paradigm Accelerated - Science and History ACE - Science and History Notgrass - History Lifepacs - Science and History BJU - Science and History The following offer detailed course plans with tests and answers for both Science and History using common textbooks: Kolbe, Oak Meadow, MODG.

Mom22ns Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'd look at Notgrass and Apologia then. They are both designed to be done independently and can be bought used very inexpensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greta Lea Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Or you could buy them used online one at a time as needed for about $10 each. They are very interesting and full of detail. Some libraries also carry Painless American Government. It can also be found online and used for cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
