Apologia Chemistry lab supplements??


Recommended Posts

Now that I have changed my plans for math next year and will be purchasing CD pre-cal (ouch :001_unsure:), I will probably use Apologia Chemistry with the TC lectures which are on sale now for $59. I had planned to use BJU with the DVD's, but they along with ChalkDust pre-cal and CC tuition are tooooo expensive. So, does anyone have any suggestions for supplementing Apologia's labs and teaching data interpretation?

We got the DIVE Chemistry CD this year as a lab supplement. It has 22 labs on it, and they are demos shown right on the CD. You can also print the lab report sheets - they are fill-in-the-blank and really help the student get the most out of the labs. There are also lectures - they are geared to the BJU curriculum - that would be helpful to teach concepts for any high school Chemistry course.

 

My dd has found it helpful. It's $50, so it's not really inexpensive, but I think it's a good buy. The workbook is $15 if you don't want to print the pages from the CD.

There are lots of labs and online worksheets you can get for Chemistry. I use a few websites (links below) to supplement our curriculum.

Would these be considered virtual labs?

 

Thanks!

 

I don't think so. I'm not very savvy on what a virtual lab is, but I believe it is more interactive than what's on the DIVE Chemistry CD. The CD has photos of all the procedures/reactions. It also has moving-type demos of how to organize data in Excel.

 

I wish DIVE had demos on their website.
