Chemistry 101, 4 DVD Set

From the first time I saw Wes Olson teaching, I was impressed with his ability to present complex science concepts in simple terms. Although these are high school courses, Wes uses analogies and simple, everyday examples that make it easy for even younger children to understand. The video presentations are interesting enough to draw in young students, but still intelligent so older students won’t feel they are being talked down to. My three boys, all with very different learning styles, love Wes’s teaching and the easy-to-follow printable course book, which is provided to guide students through the required coursework needed to earn high school credit.
