Caryl Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 We really like the book, and I can find supplemental resources, but I'm wondering if the DVD Chemistry Alive might be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth in Canada Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Because we bought a new book, the DVD came with it and is good for 6 months. Rumour has it that the author will extend that time for free for a high school student. DS, grade 7, is using the book. He's the kind of kid who can go to an Imax film and remember everything he sees and hears. For him, watching the DVD is very helpful. I don't know if it would work as well for DD, who sometimes zones out when watching films. There are exercises (I think) with the DVD, but it's not interactive. DS just watches each section, then reads the book, then does the questions. I'm very pleased with the book & DVD. For us, this is a junior high class that will be followed by an ap or honours class in high school--because ds is likely headed to be an engineer or scientist.

Storm Bay Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 We bought the CD Rom(s) on the advice of one or more people on this forum. I checked it out and am very happy we did, even though we haven't started the course yet. They provide lectures for the chapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
