Quiver0f10 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) Which program would you choose and why? My son has done Saxon for math and apologia for science and he will be doing Calculus at the community college along with whichever physics we choose. Thanks. Edited: Is physics considered math or science? I was thinking science but I am not sure? Edited March 22, 2009 by Quiver0f10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 :bigear: I would love to know as well. here in Australian high schools, physics is taken as a science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larissa Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I don't know about the Saxon, but the Apologia did a great job of getting my dd ready for her college class in physics. If he's used to the Apologia style for science, I would suggest you stay with it. It covers standard high school science material. And, yes, physics is in the science department. Although it uses a lot of math! Larissa homeschooling 5 in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in MD Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I have been really happy with Apologia. We've used all the high school material with the exception of the adv. physics and adv bio. I would stay with the curriculum that you are comfortable with. And yes, physics is considered a science. I would encourage you to be sure he does the labs. You'll want to have at least two lab sciences on his transcript. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thank you all. Do you think both the physics and adv. physics could be done in one school year? He has done the chemistry with no trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in MD Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 We didn't try it, but I do know there are many people on the board who have done this. I think it depends on how crazy the schedule is across the whole school year. There are too many other things going on here to squeeze two levels into one year.
