Chemistry question...

[Martha in GA]

I've been thinking about using BJU Chemistry with the DVD option. I'm having troube justifying the $$ to RENT the DVDs, especially since I have 3 younger children. Are there any other chemistry programs with a "lecture" type component that would be a complete high school program? Plus, I would like pre-made tests (I hate generating tests of my own!).

I haven't used it, but doesn't Thinkwell have Chemistry?

Yes, Thinkwell does have Chemistry. Also, Teaching Company offers a High School Chemistry course by Frank Cardulla that we plan to use in the Fall.

I'm intrigued by the Thinkwell option... so, if I bought through the Homeschool Buyer's Co-op, I would get 12 months subscription to the lectures, including tests and problems sets, right? And, I could buy the CDs for $25, but that wouldn't include tests and problems sets? Also, *I* really like having a textbook ... is there one that corresponds particularly well?

One more question... If my ds is somewhat average in math and science, would the Thinkwell course be too difficult for him? I thought I read that they were college level?
