Secular* High School Chemistry Curriculum Side by Side Comparison

Описание: In this video we are going to take a peak inside of three separate high school Chemistry curriculums at three different price points! This video is coming from the perspective of someone who took 3 years of high school science and 2 science classes in college, but has a social science background.

‪@Arleneandcompany‬ is a YouTuber with a science background, and I am sure will be coming out with additional high school science curriculum information. She already has several videos where she discusses different curriculums and online interfaces! I recommend heading over there for her additional perspective!

In this video, we will take a look at:

(1) CK12 Chemistry Intermediate and Elemental Science's support materials and links, which can be found here (extremely low cost or FREE for books):

https://elementalscience.com/collecti...

https://www.ck12.org/book/ck-12-chemi...

I'll show you the textbook, the teacher text book, and the tests and quizzes.

After filming I was thinking that you may be able to access quizzes and things by going to the CK12 main page and clicking on chemistry, versus going straight to the "flex text." I would try and investigate that before publishing, but we are having a major bandwidth problem at the moment!

(2) Focus On High School Chemistry Set ($145 for new books):

https://www.homesciencetools.com/prod...

We look at the textbook, the teacher manual, and the lab guide.

(3) Oak Meadow Chemistry Matters ($315 for new books):

https://www.oakmeadowbookstore.com/ch...

We take a look at the textbook, the course book, and the lab manual.

I saw that the teacher manual for this edition is currently for sale on clearance. So if you are interested in using this edition and want to get the teacher manual, that is still an option!

If you are curious to know more about why RS4K is not considered secular by some, here are some links for further information. The beauty of homeschooling is that each family can do their own research and reach their own conclusions.

"Does Real Science-4-Kids have a Christian or secular worldview? All of the books introduce real science to students and this means scientific facts and theories that are currently accepted by the scientific community. However, the books also introduce students to the philosophy of science and encourage students to explore opposing viewpoints when it comes to interpreting what these facts and theories may mean to individuals, groups, and the larger community."
