Set $18.45 + $3.00 S&H
Experiences in Physics by Mark Julicher of Castle Heights Press, Inc. Their products are sold by HomeTrainingTools and Christian Book Distributors.
2 Spiral-bound books
1) Physics Lab Manual (written for homeschoolers and small schools ($29.95 new - for comparison)
2) Student Data Book for Experiences in Physics ($12.95 new - for comparison)
These are a set and work together. It's a simple, step-by-step program. Non-intimidating.
Designed to be used for homeschool labs regardless of the actual textbook used making it a very versatile and helpful product for homeschool moms. You choose which and how many labs your student completes from those that are available in the lab manual.
List of Labs: (there are 32) (any spelling errors are mine)
Measurement and Units
Velocity
Acceleration
Vectors and the Components of Forces
Work and Power
Load Bearing Structures
Friction
Simple Machines: Levers
Simple Machines: Pulleys
Simple Machines: Wheels and Axles

Magnetic Field Around a Conductor
Induced Voltage and Transformers
Capacitance in a Circuit
Transistors
Online assistance available by email.
Answer Key included.
From Introduction:
Designed based on these three premises:
1. the student is interested in a hands-on laboratory experience that is safe and self-guided as much as possible.
2. the homeschool ... has limited resources and is best served by experiements using common materials whenever practical
3. the lab manual should have a ***variety of experiments such that it can be incorporated into the curriculum, no matter what textbook is selected.***
Both books are in used condition. Tiny cover creases, very light soiling. Nice condition over all except the writing described below.
Book 1 Physics Lab Manual, 80 total pages, I wrote in pencil on the equipment list page, small notation in pencil on pages 11,
17, 21, 25, 27, 31, 33, 35, 37, 41, 43, 45, 48, 52, 54, 55, 56, 60, 69, most of them will erase and you'd never know they were there. I wrote a note in red ink to highlight a safety issue on page 58. I made some notes in ink on one page in the answer key section.
Book 2 Student Data Book, 53 total pages, Units completed my student: 1, 2, 3, 7. These units were done in pencil and you could erase, but my grading and few margin comments in red will not erase. Alternatively, you may not choose to do these 4 units and choose others and still have a complete class for your student without any troubles at all.
$18.45 + $3.00 S&H, carefully packaged with padding

Payment by PayPal only as I'm due to take a trip soon and time is of the essence.
Payment expected immediately (Please don't say, "I want it, but I need to wait a week until our next paycheck.)
