Don’t know if you want to go this in-depth or expensive, but Guest Hollow has Chemistry in the Kitchen. It uses that culinary chemistry books you have along with lots of other books, resources, and food experiments. I’m a long way from having an 8th grader, but I roughly plan to use that curriculum with my kiddo at that time.
I had no idea that College Algebra could be used via Modern States! Signing up my 8th grader too. We were struggling to figure out what she should do. We have a phenomenal Outschool PreAlgebra teacher and I just couldn't bear to go back to Teaching Textbooks next year (even though it's on my shelf). We'll see how shes does!
I love the idea of doing a psychology class! Also, what are your plans for writing? Do you assign writing tasks as you go throughout the year? Do you do writing across the curriculum, or just stick to what you've chosen for language arts? Thank you! My rising 8th grader is my oldest, so I'm constantly second guessing myself. It's nice to see that there are ways to keep things simple and straightforward.
To be real, my plans for writing are limited. In the past we have selected composition assignments from our Lightening Literature program, but this year we will just write when it suits us across the curriculum. Both girls do a lot of writing when they are with their Bio-Dad, so I go easy on that so they don’t get overwhelmed with writing.
