Chemistry or Physics?

Chemistry or Physics? or in our case, both. Last year we did biology for ten weeks, chemistry for ten weeks and physics for ten weeks. We loved them all so much that when it came to planning for this year’s science I toiled and toiled about what to do. Thus, I did what any logical science loving homeschooler would do. I decided to do one year of Chemistry and Physics simultaneously followed by another year of Anatomy and Biology. I know it sounds crazy, but it really makes logically sense to me.  (You can’t reason with an addict and my boys  and I are addicted to science.) I treat both sciences as two totally difference subjects. We do Physics on Mondays  and Chemistry on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  Needless to say, our classroom looks like a tornado has touched down right in the middle of it for the most part. But who cares, we are having fun and learning volumes and volumes of information.   

For those who know me, know I can't just follow one curriculum. I normally pick two or three curriculums to be my spine and then add in a lot of living book, games, Youtube videos and other education movies. Planning season around my house, starts sometime in December and ends around March. If you come to my house during these months you will likely find stacks and stacks of books lying about by house.
