Apologia Young Explorers Chemistry and Physics (YECP) Day One

 This is the first time I’m teaching Apologia’s Young Explorers Chemistry and Physics.   Here are the lesson plans for Chapter 1.  I have helped my husband, Rob, plan the course, when he taught it.  (BTW, I have a bit of experience teaching Chemistry and Physical Science.). YECP is a fun course.  Many of the experiments and activities are those my kiddos have done at Science Camp.  Our Co-op schedules YECP when we have a batch of kiddos ages 10-12, or so.  (There are always exceptions!). Could you teach a mixed group of children ages 6-12?  Sure!  We chose YECP as a prequel to General Science and Physical Science the following two years.  We are using both Junior and regular Notebooking Journals.  (Three of the kiddos have learning differences.)  Their families and I think a reduced homework load will help them stay on track. Here’s hoping for a wonderful school year!
