KristineinKS Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Has anyone used this Chemistry curriculum, "The Elements: Ingredients of the Universe" by Ellen McHenry? The RR review of it is here; it sounds absolutely fantastic & I'd love to squeeze it into our schedule but am wondering how long it takes to complete all the lessons. If you've used it, what was your opinion of it and how long did it take to work through the book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Well, for younger children you could certainly stretch it out and make it last a year with review, games, songs, memory work, etc. For middle school, I'd tend to do it in a semester and then follow up with her organic chemistry book the second semester. Someone recently posted that she's now also working on a third book - hurray! We add in the Fun with Atoms and Molecules experiments, too....

PeterPan Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I saw it mentioned on the boards here previously, so you might look and find those glowing reviews if you don't happen to get more responses. The comments were so positive, it's on my list to use some time next year! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineinKS Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thank you, I'm glad to know it's as good as it sounds! I thought it might be too obscure to find on the boards, but I'm off to search now! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
