So using a CD-Rom 'textbook' is so NOT up my alley.
I really want to get through chemistry course so I can add it to the High School Transcript. I just get so bored. I do add extra experiments ans stuff, which helps. some.
Today's Lesson from Chemistry "textbook" was about elements. I had listed some extras in my notebook. A YouTube Song (Meet the Elements, by They Might Be Giants, because one can never have too much They Might Be Giants in one's life)
A Decomp reaction of changing Sodium Bicarbonate into Washing Soda. Click Here . and HERE.
Another experiment found online.
And printing out some worksheets on the Periodic Table of Elements. I planned on just some basic questions like:
"List the gases"
"What does Pb stand for?"
"What is the atomic weight of Calcium?"
SO, instead of teaching today, I printed worksheets for the boys. And they will do the sodium bicarbonate thing without me. We already listened to the song. Multiple Times.
Lazy Homeschooling on my part. Yeah Me.

I'm blinking a lot, but I think that's more due to the headache and not liking lights right now......
My lazy homeschooling today was using youtube to play whale songs and sounds.
They Might Be Giants are very handy. For awhile this year, my son (who was studying this area) was constantly singing "Istanbul was Constantinople" Which of course my husband loved :)
I would say that we're in Non-school mode today, but we're off to find summer reading books.
I hate when they give you authors and not the titles.
Grrr.
