How many labs should we have to count as lab credit. I mean to be able to say "Physics with lab" on the transcript. Currently we do about 1 per week, which would give us about 36 at the end of the year. I have no idea how many there should be.

Hi Barb, I believe that Arizona State University expects ~ a lab a week. For home educators to apply, it looks like they want one sample lab submitted in addition to some other information. More here.
Love,

i would also suggest checking with the colleges your dc is interested in. my dd was specifically told by one school, that she needed "Two Lab Sciences, done in a Lab, not your kitchen."

Thanks for the reply's. So far I have seen college want a certain amount of lab sciences - but I haven't found how many per course. I guesse I will look closer!

Our umbrella, which counts Carnegie units, requires 20 labs.

Well, I guesse with one per week we should be fine. I looked at some college web sites and couldn't find any that stated a required number of labs. Also searched the internet to find some sort of "standard" of how many labs constitutes "with lab" on a transcript and found nothing. I have to think that 30-35 labs for each year is sufficient?

It is more than you'd do in a traditional school lab science class. Think back...how many of you did a lab every week?

You're right. Actually I was afraid of science back then and somehow got away with only one lab science (with biology)!
