mathnmusic Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Looks like Mr. Q's 50% off sale is going on now, so if I'm going to buy his stuff, now would be a good time. But would it be duplicating to have his stuff if we already have Ellen McHenry's science units? I'm not sure how much overlap there is. Or are they different enough that it's worthwhile to have both science curricula? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I haven't seen Mr. Q's elementary chemistry but the advanced chem one definitely goes beyond what is in the Ellen McHenry chemistry programs. There is some overlap, but as it's been 4 years since we last hit chemistry, I liked the review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mr. Q Advanced is definitely a step up. The EH Carbon Chem does cover some organic chem things not in the Mr. Q, but the Mr. Q has more of the math of Chem. I'm not sure about the "regular" level of Mr. Q - I've used his regular levels of Bio and Earth Science, but not the Chem. My guess is his regular level would be either more around the same level as the Elements? I think the EH materials, followed by the Mr. Q Advanced a couple or more years later when math skills are farther along, is a good progression.

Doodle Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Were currently using MrQ's Chemistry along with Ellen McHenry's The Elements. I think they work nicely together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I don't see the 50% off part. Is there a special code? You need to sign up for the website/email. The code is sent in a special email to those registered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathnmusic Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thank you for your replies! They're really helpful. We'd mostly be using them as reading material so I really like the idea of having curricula that builds upon itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarynB Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I don't see the 50% off part. Is there a special code? The code (good until Jan. 19) was posted in the first post of this thread: http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/496758-mrqs-50-off-sale-is-jan-12-19-yay/?do=findComment&comment=5390205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
