So sorry. Praying for the both of you. 🙏

Biochemistryliteracyforkids is definitely not fluffy. It prepared my son for Connie's Intro to Org / Biochem course. Of course, Connie's course is more rigorous because it's a college course or at the very least she uses a college textbook. But biochemlit along with whatever videos he was seeking out during his middle school years helped prepare him for her course. Biochemliteracyforkids is just 24 videos. Any where from 45 mins - 1.5 hours. I sat in a video or two and it's pretty meaty. I think the first video had some review of chemistry in it, but that was it. I would imagine that even some high schoolers would have something to think about. He explains the concepts in such a way where younger kids can understand it. Now, my son was one of his set of students, so his class has evolved. They are beyond the program and sometimes he would ask the students what they wanted to learn. He would then teach it. This school year he started teaching some AP Chem problems, but somehow it evolved into medicinal chemistry. Not sure as i'm not involved in the class. It suits my son's need. But if you are looking for a college credit course or to take the AP exam, this would not be the course to take. If you have a child who has had some biochem background and want to jump in the class my son is in, you can email and ask him. He's very approachable and understanding. Ask if you can even have a free trial class. Who knows what he will do. The class is on Thursdays at 3:30 pacific. for one hour or so. Daniel Fried. daniel@biochemistryliteracyforkids.com I can't say enough about his classes. It's my son's favorite class. Katya's classes are his second favorite. Hope this helps.

Just to be clear, Clover Valley Chemistry offers both self-pace and online classes. Hope you find something for your child!

My son did beast academy and then AoPS algebra. Currently, Finishing up AoPS geometry with Katya. He loves her class!!! Simultaneously, we started AoPS precalculus in order for him to take AP Calculus in the fall with Pennsylvania Homeschoolers. my kids have not taken a class there before, but heard good things about it. My son was all over the place with science. He sought out videos during the pandemic which was during his middle school years. I guess a lot of crash course, Kurtkazac (sp?), and outschool. I hear great courses are good too, but never got my act together to pay for them. (I have two other kids). He started with biochemistryliteracyforkids.com his 7th grade as well. Very well done! The teacher is fantastic! He is still in it because it’s with the same group of kids and the teacher is teaching medicinal chemistry right now. He loves it! He is also currently taking Intro to Org Chem / Biochem with Connie at Clover Valley Chemistry (self paced). To satisfy lab requirements, he is a high school chemistry co-op this year. He is also in katya’s advanced biology this year. Will take the final exam for college credit that some may accept. My son will take AP chemistry this fall with Pennsylvania Homeschoolers. Then hopefully AP Physics with PA Homeschoolers his junior year. My son may take college biology at a Christian university to satisfy high school lab requirement - haven’t thought this out yet. He’s gifted. And along with his giftedness comes the sense of justice. So, being a Christian, he doesn’t like to study evolution anymore. He had it already and he gets worked up about it. So, I’m trying to find a way where he can take it some place that will understand him. anyhow, he may do college chemistry his junior year. I’m not having my kids take the AP exams. The AP courses they will take will be at a respectable school that provides a grade and transcript and that is good enough for me. btw, Katya will have a molecular biology journal club this next school year. Let me know if you want her contact info for more information! I think that is it. 😂 hard to tell on my phone. hope this helps!

Hi, Sounds like my Christian 9th grader. This year he took Advanced Biology with a Christian teacher, Katya. She is terrific! There is no lab report though. She taught a MIT Biology course. My son will take the exam in the end and some colleges will accept it. My son said that evolution was taught, but it wasn't too much. Let me know if you want to get in touch with her for more information. We also second Intro to Org Chem with Clover Valley Chemistry.

Thanks everyone. I was asking because she wanted to take their Forensic Science class. Thought if she took their biology and chemistry course their, then it would be easier to enroll in their forensic science course. We decided to enroll her in honors biology at blue tent. Will consider chemistry with Connie though. My son is taking her self paced Intro to Org Chem and Biochem.

Hi. I signed her up for honors biology with Blue Tent. She has a friend taking it this year. Hope this helps.

I’m sorry this is happening. I hope the situation improves soon.

Hi, Has anyone here used Generations curriculum for high school? I hear that one can pair their American Government along with the American History book. Please let me know what you thought of it. Thanks.

Oh ! We like mark rober! The squirrel video is my favorite so far. So funny!

Thanks!

Hi! This is a big transition! 1. You absolutely should keep those curriculums! The move is enough for kiddos that I think keeping something familiar would be good for them. However, kids are resilient. We used to travel with my husband. 2. You will need to plan things out. But keep in mind that plans do change. 4. I would plan to try to do history, art, read alouds, and science together. Not sure how old is your 4th child. But I would try to make sure that your oldest child has a year of each level of history and science first. The younger ones can tag along. Things will get a little tricky once the oldest hits 7th grade. But by then, that child may do history on his/her own. When you have to be teaching one child (for example, math) others can be either reading or practicing an instrument or handwriting. Sometimes the oldest child can even read to the younger ones. Good luck on your move! I hope it's a smooth one!

Hi, Where do you get the physics subscription box from? Thanks.

I agree with homeagain. We tried TGtB and I don’t think the concepts stuck. As much as I wanted it to work, I had to switch. I switch to Singapore, math and she is doing much better. plus, I don’t think TGTB has enough problems. It is so pretty though! 😃

Thanks!
