Apologia

[inashoe]

Is there any difference between the previous edition of Apologia Science (i think publish date 2000) and the new edition ?

Which course?

In general, material has been added to each newer edition, and I think previous editions were in b/w while the newer ones have color illustrations.

I know there's a significant difference between the 1st and 2nd edition of Physics.

I think the jr hi books have added some review sections? Just something I heard...

It depends on which course you are asking about.

A lot of the updates are "visual", color photos, more graphics, etc.

Some of the updates are because the labs weren't always 100% (frequently, kids couldn't replicate the expected results) and those have been replaced.

If you are doing this as a co-op course they strongly recommend everyone using the same book.

They used to have, on their web-site, a list of the differences (though it wasn't terribly specific). It did help me decide that I didn't need to update either my Gen. Sci or Phys. Sci books. I did buy the 2nd ed. Biology though.
