I need to do a physical science with my 2 highschool dds next year, they DO NOT want to do Apologia physical science. So any ideas for them?

Thanks and God bless,

Are you looking for a complete packaged program/textbook? Science for High School has a physical science book (I've not used it so I don't know much about it.)

Jackie,
I have Castle Heights Press' Physical Science text, Pathways in Science. The explanation in the book and on the CHP site says that the book could be used as a 9th grade lab science. I'm beefing up the book with some considerable reading of living books for each of the sections. I think the book will make a nice freshman level Physical Science for a high school student with the living book additions.

Home Science Tools offers a kit that coordinates with the CHP Physical Science book. The kit contains most of the items needed to complete the labs in the book.

The book and the labs would work great with two students working together. In fact, my 5th grader intends to tag along and participate in many/all of the labs. His science this year will mirror the physical science topics my 9th grader is working through, with more age appropriate reading.
