Chemistry - suggestions for homeschool kids?

[The B]

Hola

Any former junior chemists, chemistry teachers, enthusiasts, et al, have any recommendations for high school level chemistry lab experimentation books? Ideal book would cover a decent range of quality educational experiments from straightforward to progressively more involved

Thanks,

-Ben

I suppose an old copy of The Anarchist's Cookbook is out of the question,...

Maybe not, he did use the word "progressive"ly

Whatever you do, do NOT mix amonia and bleach together!!

All I remember about my HS chemistry book was that it talked about "moles". Never understood what small burrowing creatures had to do with it...

I loved chemistry, what with valence electrons and noble gases. Hopefully you find the materials you're looking for. As a side note, YouTube has some amazing channels with experiments that could be inspiring to kids.

I used to know a guy that used Draino with some others chemicals.

I don't know if he was a legit chemist but a lot of people liked him.

The very first thing I thought of was YouTube but someone beat me to the punch...

There are some awesome channels from beginning chemistry to advanced concepts.

A lot of which have experiment instructions - some are viable and some not so much (depends on the size of your wallet normally).

And the "fireproofedness" (is that even a word?!) of your kitchen or "workshop".

I don't know what your budget is, but these folks have some pretty nice teaching materials: Home Science Tools | Science Supplies for K-12
