9th Grade Science for the girl!

Biology and Chemistry looks like a good fit. We will go between the two:
Biology: Zoology colouring book, Exploring the Way Life Works (see online syllabi for ideas), Biology Colouring Book, Units on 5 Kingdoms from Apologia book, Froguts for the lab work as well as our Microscope (need slides to create some new slides), some of the lab activities from Quirks and Quarks (blog)

Chemistry: Zumdahl text, Khan lectures, the Joy of Chemistry, The Elements, The Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments with the Homschooler's Kit!

Obviously this will take much more than a year... but I know she will like the change!

Also.... botany studies with art!

Chemistry Links...

Great Lectures:

Khan academy

Oxford -has a great link to online labs as well

middle school chemistry for C.

Possible enrichment for Hannah down the road at the U of M

Chart for 40s chemistry from the Manitoba Government (don't look at the rest of document- unless you want a thorough course in educationalease!)

I have ordered the Zumdahl book and will order the Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments!! I think I will use these last two, along with the text on my shelf, to cover the 11th grade Chem. with H. this year, which will leave time for more Biology and some Botany and Astronomy (our Natural History Studies with C. and Ar. and Aa.)

Ar. will do a combined Natural History, Marine Biology and Chem. experiment year!!
