More chemistry, because that's what we're in the midst of with one of my kids  :D

 

SEAChem2020 - a work in progress (10 lessons are done), being created by a high school chemistry teacher.  He also wrote a free chemistry textbook (pdf): Chemistry the Awesomest Science  (ETA: but see JanetC's caveat below)

 

Earth Science:

Introduction to Geology - Christian, old-Earth perspective.  Enough material to be used as a one semester high school course.

WARNING to preview this carefully folks. I clicked on Chapter 10 of the textbook at random, just to get a taste. Illustration of a woman doing drugs with the caption

 

Figure 10.1: What does this crackhead have in common with chemists? She understands how to harness the power of combustion reactions for her own purposes.

Wow, that is really disappointing.  Thank you for the warning.

Just came across a bunch of materials for health from the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center. I am linking to a Nutrition program for grades 3&4. It includes videos, lesson plans, power points slide and other materials.

On the left hand side, there are links to other health related curriculum under the heading "Programs & Resources."

Logic resources linked by Lori D. in another thread.  

Ideas for free online resources at a high school/college intro level:
Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking -- download
Introduction to Logic -- pdf
links to 4 texts
list of free Open Culture courses, listed alphabetically -- check out either "Introduction to Logic", or "Critical Reasoning for Beginners", or "A Romp Through Ethics for Complete Beginners"

My children have been creating all kinds of wacky and fun Science experiments using this free Science Experiments to do at Home activity pack 🙂

https://www.twinkl.com.au/resource/science-experiments-to-do-at-home-pack-za-nst-43

There's also a bunch of other great Science lesson planning resources on their website too (my youngest particularly loves the colouring sheets!)

Alculumus <- excellent source of challenging competition-level problems. Difficulty adjusts to keep the student challenged but not overwhelmed.

 

Math videos:

These channels have lots of math playlists for many different classes:

The Math Sorcerer

PatrickJMT

The College Prep School

Khan Academy

Organic Chemistry Tutor <- Yes he has math

Krista King

Professor Leonard

Freecodecamp

Math Mammoth <- unlike many channels, which go from arithmetic/prealgebra up, this goes from 1st grade to prealgebra

Derek Owens

GreeneMath <- mostly algebra, but likely has more algebra content than any other channel except maybe khanacademy. 

Arithmetic:

Herb Gross' Playlist

Khan Academy's Playlist (Nice to have since it's only 41 videos, compared to the hundreds on the website)

Prealgebra:

Khan Academy's Playlist

WhyU's Playlist

AoPS

Math Mammoth

Algebra 1:

Most of the above channels have Algebra 1 playlists. Here are some more:

AoPS

Another playlist at the AoPS level

Derek Banas

Geek's Lesson

Trigonometry:

I made a list a while ago on Reddit with free resources, in case anyone is interested. Some of the links for textbooks and PE are ones I found on this forum, but with updated links because they didn't work anymore and I was able to find an archived version of the website that works. I was looking for a few specific resources for my daughter recently and found so many good suggestions here.

https://www.serpinstitute.org/algebra-by-example  <- безкоштовні ресурси з алгебри

Eureka Math  <- Безкоштовна, сувора навчальна програма на основі навчальної програми з математики EngageNY

EngageNY Math  <- До 12

Zearn.org  <- сайт безкоштовних математичних занять/ігор, topcis майже ідеально відповідає Eureka та EngageNY

Alculumus  <- чудове джерело складних проблем на рівні змагань. Складність коригується, щоб учень залишався викликаним, але не перевантаженим.

 

Математичні відео:

На цих каналах є багато математичних списків відтворення для різних класів:

Математичний чарівник

PatrickJMT

Підготовча школа коледжу

Академія Хана

Репетитор з органічної хімії  <- Так, він володіє математикою

Кріста Кінг

Професор Леонард

Freecodecamp

Math Mammoth  <- на відміну від багатьох каналів, які йдуть від арифметики/преалгебри вгору, це йде від 1-го класу до преалгебри

Дерек Оуенс

GreeneMath  <- переважно алгебра, але, ймовірно, містить більше вмісту алгебри, ніж будь-який інший канал, крім, можливо, khanacademy. 

Арифметика:

Плейлист Герба Гросса

Список відтворення Khan Academy  (приємно мати, оскільки це лише 41 відео, порівняно з сотнями на веб-сайті)

Преалгебра:

Список відтворення Khan Academy

Список відтворення WhyU

AoPS

Математичний мамонт

Алгебра 1:

Більшість вищезазначених каналів мають списки відтворення Algebra 1. Ось ще деякі:

AoPS

Ще один плейлист на рівні AoPS

Дерек Банас

Урок гіка

Тригонометрія:

Thank you for your post. Good information for development. I know it's not time to answer because it's been another year and I looked at all the links and I have to admit that there are very good resources.
