Welcome to the latest episode of Teaching High School Science! I'm your host, Doc, a former biochemist turned high school science teacher and private tutor. In this episode, we're dedicated to helping parents find the perfect high school chemistry curriculum for the upcoming school year. While "perfect" might be a stretch, I'm confident that the diverse range of curricula we'll discuss will help you find the best fit for your needs.

We'll cover several options:

1. Apologia High School Chemistry - Known for its comprehensive, rigorous approach from a Christian perspective, with engaging lab experiments and activities.
2. Guest Hollow's Chemistry in the Kitchen - Ideal for students seeking a conceptual understanding of chemistry without the math, featuring hands-on kitchen-based experiments.
3. CK-12 Chemistry - A free, online interactive textbook offering simulations, videos, and quizzes, suitable for self-study with various levels of difficulty.
4. Time4Learning High School Chemistry - A subscription-based, self-paced course with interactive lessons and virtual labs.
5. PA Homeschoolers - Focused on honors and AP Chemistry, these courses provide live interaction with experienced instructors to prepare students for college-level work.
6. My Comprehensive Chemistry Planner - A flexible, 17-unit planner designed for parents who want more control over their child's chemistry education, with resources and videos to aid in teaching.

Each curriculum has its strengths, and I'll share insights from my own experiences and what other parents have told me. I'll also provide links in the show notes for further exploration.

Homeschooling offers unique flexibility and customization, which can make the chemistry journey both enjoyable and effective.
