abrightmom Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The text DS and I are using is very streamlined and we need more depth. Will you recommend a chem text that has clear explanations for a novice chem student? We are also looking for an awesome You Tube channel with chemistry videos to supplement our learning. Any recommendations? ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 We used Zumdahl's World of Chemistry to supplement Spectrum. It worked so well that we started using it full time about halfway through the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSprout Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) I'll second World of Chem. I prefer the second edition over the first for layout reasons, but the text is the same. Some resources for it here: http://www.classzone.com/cz/books/woc_07/book_home.htm?state=CA For calculation help, I like: http://www.gpb.org/chemistry-matters/closer-look Bozeman has helpful videos for those who want lectures: http://www.bozemanscience.com/ap-chemistry/ For the love of all things geeky, there are the "Brady" channels. His chemistry one: http://www.periodicvideos.com/ (dd likes Numberphile, too): https://www.numberphile.com/ Edited November 14, 2018 by MamaSprout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raganfamily Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 We used Zumdahls Chemistry, Great Courses Chemistry, http://www.periodicvideos.com (There is a YouTube Video for this and we all filled in our own Periodic Table of Elements as we watched the videos), a couple of living books, and a chemistry kit. For what it is worth, my older daughter used this and LOVED chemistry. It really sparked her interest. My second daughter watched all the videos when my older daughter did. However, when it was time for her to do Chemistry we used Apologia. She does not have the same LOVE of Chemistry, but made an A in Chem I in college.

raganfamily Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) I was searching through my old files and found a line up of videos for Chemistry. It is through the University of Maryland http://www.learner.org/resources/series61.html I attached the video list I found.. Thank you for posting about this, it has given me a good revamp for my last two hs kiddos ages 15 and 13 🙂 The World of Chemistry video lists.docx Edited November 20, 2018 by raganfamily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
