happypamama Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I bought Zumdahl (Introductory Chemistry: A Foundation) for next year, and it looks quite manageable. I also bought the Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments. I am a bit overwhelmed by it. Does anyone have a list of which experiments you did and found easily doable at home? Or any that you tried to do and found were really too much hassle/expense/danger to do at home? (This is for 10th grade introductory Chemistry.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I teach from the Illustrated Guide from my home to small groups for the past many years. Send me a private message with your email and I'll send you a bunch of notes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I bought the Zumdahl text and the illustrated guide to home chemistry experiments, as welI, for next year. I also bought the Mays lab guide and am going to look to that as well. So I'm in the middle of doing the same thing as you are. Julie, may I message you for some notes as well? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Reefgazer, you (or anyone else) are welcome to message me and I'll send you my notes on the Illustrated Guide. The Illustrated Guide is a lot of work and a lot of fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loesje22000 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 In 2013 one made a social group for those teaching chemistry at home that year: http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/forum/248-hs-chemistry-fall-2013/ Maybe one get inspired there / create another one to encourage each other. As we have integrate science here, and one science exit exam we have year a little chemistry :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 I will join that -- thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendall Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Me three! I have the text and have worked through chapter 8, but I haven't even started looking at labs yet. I followed that group. I suppose we can just use that forum and start chatting about things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
