Savvas Experience Chemistry Kit - Lamp Post Homeschool Curriculum

Teach chemistry at home with a complete secular-based chemistry package—including print and digital content.

Offering the flexibility of print, digital, or blended instruction, Savvas Experience Chemistry helps students look at chemistry in new ways—learning is based on doing science. It’s all about learning chemistry as you go with hands-on and digital activities. Instead of cramming information like an traditional text, Experience Chemistry introduces new information on a “need to know basis.” When you need to know something, you are more likely to remember it and it is easier to learn. I think I would have liked this chemistry course a lot more than the traditional chemistry text back in my day. [Features]

Features of Savvas™ Experience Chemistry—Complete Homeschool Packages for High School

Based on the latest research on how chemistry is learned successfully by high school students.
Presents the concepts of chemistry as a series of hands-on and digital student experiences that build understanding of the core concepts.
Divided into five Instructional Segments.
Introduces students to interesting, real-world phenomena, fosters curiosity about the natural world.
Provides a variety of engaging hands-on investigations that apply the science and engineering practices.
Offers teachers the flexibility of presenting chemistry concepts in ways that match their unique student’s needs.
Divided into 2 volumes, the textbook is less intimidating and easier to handle than a larger single volume.
Easy to read and follow, the formatting has lots of informative illustrations and highlighted words that are defined in the Glossary.
Each section begins with a Storyline (an opening question with a video) followed by Investigation and Experiences, referring back to the Storyline to solidify learning. (This might sound complicated, but when you see the book in person, it is easy to follow and intuitive.)
After each Investigation, there is an Assessment.
The online teacher edition has the information you need to oversee the course with content such as remediation tips, ELD support,
Chemistry involves math and Experience Chemistry offers sample problems to help the student master it. There are various other helps such as problem banks, support videos, and more.
There are lab videos, virtual reality simulations, and virtual labs.
As far as actual hands-on labs, Flinn Scientific has lab kits for Experience Chemistry, but they are for classrooms and very expensive for single use. There are homeschool science lab companies [such as Home Science Tools] or you could look for similar labs on You Tube for demo videos. When I took premium chemistry in high school, the teacher demoed most of the labs. We did actual hands-on labs maybe once every couple of weeks.

Each Savvas Experience Chemistry Homeschool Bundle includes:

Volume 1 Experience Chemistry 2021 National Student Handbook ISBN-13: 9781418327187 Softcover with 258 pages~Consumable, if you write in the book.
There is a conveniently located Periodic Table inside the back cover on the last page. The resources in the appendix are very helpful, too.
Volume 2 Experience Chemistry 2021 National Student Handbook ISBN-13: 9781418327194 Softcover with 499 pages~Consumable, if you write in the book.
A similar appendix is included in this volume as relates to volume 2 content.
Homeschool Digital Access Card ISBN-13: 9780328972609 for One-year of Experience Chemistry Student and Teacher digital access to Savvas Realize™, the online learning system. [Formerly called Pearson Realize™]
