Chemistry For Home Schooling

My kids have tried many Science curriculums, and they have completed quite a few kits, lots of  experiments and learning. At some point during the rest of this year the kids will be completing more of their NOEO Chemistry as in each work.

This is a very comprehensive curriculum I bought several years ago. It cost me almost $400, however, I think it was worth it. It is actually a little different to this set shown in the photo, but this one is the latest one.

It has a 36 week lesson plan, which we will be using only some of these as we have previously done much of the historical aspect of chemistry, the upcoming work will be more experiments, looking at metals, non metals, chemical reaction, atoms, molecules just to name a few.

I have made a little booklet for them to go with it, as well as them writing up experiments they will be doing. This should more than cover the outcomes for Stage 5 science, and, along with this wonderful looking thing, can't wait to let them play and learn all about chemistry.

It was purchased from Amazon, and cost close to $100 but it will be worth the money as I believe it will be fun to use and very educational. I am awaiting very impatiently for this one...lol...

As a note, I make no money for promoting these resources. I just hunk hey are great tools to us for high school home schooling.


Here are some great links for activities, information and worksheets.

Science, Stage 5, DNA and GENETICS

It is sometimes hard to get the kids excited about doing Science. We have tried so many things, notebooking being Maddie's favoured way and Peter Adams being Jacob's.

They have achieved many of the outcomes along the way, with all these various curriculums, and in there last 3 terms of doing stage 5, I thought it would be fun for them to do a more hands on approach, after all, they are the sorts of things most of us remember best.

The kids are learning about DNA and revisiting Genetics, so I purchased a couple of good kits with experiments. The first is the K'NEX DNA kit...it looks fantastic, and the sdecond is the Sciencewiz DNA kit. Also with experiments, activities and an information booklet. 

From visits to the library, and purchasing books, these will be the books they will be using, plus we have a large lot of general science books which actually have information in them as well.

Here is a great little powerpoint we will be using.
