Apologia: Physical Science Chemistry Lesson

Apart from learning how to write formulas, the group did some more exercises on the graphing calculator, including how to create a histogram.  Wild About Math has several exercises with instructions and calculator screen shots.  The class did another lab, this one Precipitates.  I am using Middle School Chemistry produced by the American Chemical Society (ACS) which has 5E lessons, demonstrations, and labs.  These ACS activites are safe, well tested, and typically involve household chemicals.  The activites include answer keys and detailed background materials.  Perfect for home-school families!  This lesson, Precipitate Lesson has sources for materials, explanations-even scripted questions.  This lab is a great way to introduce kids to observations regarding chemical change.
