GIVEAWAY! Friendly Chemistry Student & Teacher Set (CLOSED)

giveaways

25 Mar

Friendly Chemistry, at first glance, doesn't look like much more than a bunch of papers in a binder.  But after a quick read, you find that, hmm, chemistry is a little more interesting than you first thought.  Give it a longer look and you'll find yourself surprisingly absorbed in elements and molecules.  Then…gather some students,  teach a Friendly Chemistry lesson and you'll see that chemistry is not only fun, but the kids are asking to have another chemistry class!  Say what?  I know I never asked for a repeat of chemistry when I was their age!  But I was never taught Friendly Chemistry like this kid is…

free Friendly Chemistry kit

That's our 13yo, who is demonstrating "Element Bingo," in which he places playing pieces on element symbols (eg. Fe) as I call out the element's full name (eg. Iron). Friendly Chemistry, a 32-week program, is full of hands-on learning suggestions.

The writers and publishers of Friendly Chemistry are Joey and Lisa Hajda, two very qualified teachers.  They describe Friendly Chemistry like this: "Friendly
Chemistr
y was written using simple language and a host of analogies to
make learning (and teaching!) chemistry easy.  We believe that the chemistry concepts
presented in Friendly Chemistry are NOT watered-down.  The concepts are just explained
in ways that are readily understood by most learners.  Coupled with these explanations is
a host of teaching aids, labs and games which makes the learning concrete
and multi-sensory.  Students find the course fun and painless.  Parents
often comment, 'I wish I had had this when I was taking chemistry.
  Now it all makes so much sense!' "

Visit the Friendly Chemistry site for answers to questions about the program for homeschoolers or for answers to questions about using the program in private or public schools. The set retails for $135 ($75 for the student edition, including manipulatives + $60 for the teacher edition).

Guess what? The publishers want to offer one of you a free set of Friendly Chemistry. 

This giveaway includes:

  • Student text
  • Teacher text
  • Set of manipulatives:
    •     Doo-wop Board, which is a unique tool to teach electron orbital arrangements and ionization.
    •     Element
      Flashcards
    •     Doo-wop
      Mania card game
    •     Compound
      Intensity cards to accompany Compound Intensity Board Game found in
      the Friendly Chemistry Teacher's edition
    •     Ion
      Flashcards which are multisized cards which not only teach ion symbol
      and charge, but also how compounds form.
    •     Bag
      of playing pieces, chips and dice.

The winning set will look like the one below, although there may be a few differences, since I photographed our set which we've been using for months.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This time, you may enter more than once!  You get one entry per comment, but you may comment more than once by…

  1. Leaving a comment, saying you want one. That's easy!
  2. Spreading the news about this giveaway on your blog or Twitter or Facebook, then come back here and let me know what you did, leaving a link if you can. You may do all 3 if you like, for 3 extra entries!

You may enter up to 4 times, by using all 4 entry methods (a comment, a blog, a tweet and a Facebook status).  But, remember, you need to enter 4 separate times, because that makes it much easier for me to count up entries when I go to Random. org to select the winner.

More Rules, sigh:

  • Click on "Comments" below* to leave your comment and other entries (separately, remember)
  • The form will ask for your email address but only I will see it.  Promise.  And I never, ever spam
  • One winner will be selected randomly from the entries (comments) through Random.org's random number generator
  • US entries only (head ducking; I'm sorry!)
  • Deadline:  Friday, March 27th at midnight CST

Updated 3/28:  This giveaway is closed. The winner is…

Meredith W.!  Congratulations, Meredith.

Balancing Homeschooling while Working From Home

At times, well-intentioned advice suggests that dedicating an entire day to homeschooling leaves no room for a job during regular hours. This is not necessarily so. My husband and I owned a garden center for a few years while also homeschooling. After that, I had an online business while homeschooling.
