Our base text is probably going to be Chemistry: The Central Science. I also ordered a copy of Zumdahl's chemistry so the kids could kind of pick which text they were more comfortable with. I figured it would be an easy choice, but of course two said Central and one said Zumdahl. Right now we're going to read and take notes from Central, just read Zumdahl, and listen to the mp3 of Wile's Exploring Creation with Chemistry.
As far as videos go, right now I'm having the kids take notes from the Thinkwell course and as we get into the Teaching Company course we will just work the sample problems within the lectures. We're just gong to watch The World of Chemistry videos. There are also a plethora of websites that quiz the different topics of chemistry and as we use those I will post and review those that work well for us.

This is actually made using Excel, so if you want to see what I do you would need to open Excel and then copy and paste each "grid" next to each other. So column 1 would be Zumdahl, column 2 would be Thinkwell, column 3 would be Central Science and so on. The World of chemistry and websites I want the kids to look at hang out at the bottom of the worksheet.
