About this title

About the Author:

Jay Wile fell in love with chemistry when his parents bought him his first chemistry set. Many stink bombs and a few explosions later, he was hooked! He attended the University of Rochester to study chemistry and, while there, became fascinated with nuclear chemistry, eventually earning a PhD in that field. For several years, he did research under the auspices of the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation while serving as an assistant professor of chemistry. Dr. Wile has won many awards for excellence in teaching and research. In addition, he has authored or co-authored nine books.

Review:

The next time you start to doubt your ability to teach the upper level sciences at home simply visit the Apologia website or open one of their amazing textbooks and read. With engaging text, easy-to-implement household lab science experiments, and tests to capture the learning, upper-level homeschool science education is within your grasp. Apologia Science really does make it that easy. --Homeschool Reviews for You

This science book doesn't read like a science textbook. Instead, the author invites the reader to join him in a joyful, wonder-filled exploration of the intricacies of Creation. That's my kind of learning! --Eclectic Homeschool Online

Dr. Jay L. Wile is an engaging and witty writer. This is not a dry, dreary, mind- numbing science curriculum. . . . I wish Dr. Wile had been writing textbooks 25 years ago! I have learned more from these two books than I learned in six years of middle school and high school science. --The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
