This Author is one of the best out there. He has studied his material and knows what he's talking about. Highschool Chemistry is a subject that can be difficult in a homeschool environment to teach. This former university professor who has written the Exploring Creation series for the homeschool environment. His course addresses the main problems, he assumes no prior knowledge of chemistry and explains concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. The entire set of recommended lab equipment which is not included can be substituted with common household items you can make that will still work, which keep the costs lower. No special chemicals are required beyond what would normally be found around the house. Comparing it to other homeschool Chemistry courses it covers concepts that are covered on ACT tests and allows the substitutions of household items for labs and a more understanding format for most student to grasp. This is one of the BEST out there. Check them out on there web site http:/www.highschoolscience.comRead full review
Written by a science professor but it is simple language that is understandable. There is a review here that says the facts are changed to make it support creation. That is misleading. Students who use this curriculum are acing the ACT's in Ohio. If Wile is changing the facts, how are they doing so well on secular tests? Science is very hard to teach at home. You won't find a better home curriculum. And, viewing test scores, possibly wouldn't find a better high school curriculum period. Creation and evolution are both religions. Both are based on belief. Neither can be proven. Both use the same evidence. Whatever belief you agree with, you can't deny the results of this curriculum.
Easy to understand, well as far as chemistry goes. And it points out often how chemistry points towards the existence of an amazing creator, because such complexity and precision could not have happened by chance.

I have been very pleased with all of the Apologia Curriculum. I have used it to home school all of my children. I personally have learned more from this than I did in both high school and college level science classes.

I had heard a great deal about the Apologia science series of books....all the news was good. People were literally raving about it. When my daughter was offered the chance to be in a Homeschool Chemistry class using the Apologia Chemistry I couldn't say 'yes' fast enough. The book reads like a conversation and there are "on your own" questions (with the answers provided at the end of each module (chapter). There are also review questions and extra practice problems that also include the answers. I next ordered the Apologia Physical Science for my 8th grader. We are looking forward to this book as well.
