Description

If you're using the program in a co-op situation, have students who are auditory learners, or need additional help teaching the program, then you might want to check out the Audiobook USB flash drive. Lessons on the audiobook are read directly from the text (with occasional additional commentary) by author Joey Hajda. The visuals are minimal, with lecture-style bullet-points or notes appearing on screen, occasionally with clip art. The resolution seems a bit fuzzy viewing on a desktop computer monitor. I would consider this most strongly if you feel that hearing the lesson read aloud will help your children. 
Publisher's Description of Friendly Chemistry Audiobook on USB Drive

This is the audiobook version of the Friendly Chemistry student textbook, 4th ed. Text author, Dr. Joey Hajda, reads from the text as a series of slides move by on the screen. These digital files are in MP4 format and are delivered on a USB flash drive packaged in a DVD-style case for easy storage.

Friendly Chemistry is straight forward, and easy to teach using the three required components. The supplemental resources, however, offer additional teacher support as well as resources to meet your individual student needs. Available individually or see one of our convenient sets: Friendly Chemistry Essentials Plus Set or the Friendly Chemistry Complete Set.

Taught by the author, Dr. Hajda, the Friendly Chemistry Video Course includes 32 video lessons, with over 16+ hours of instruction. This course offers unlimited access for the purchasing family. Please contact the publisher directly for classroom or co-op licensing.

Answer Keys are found in the Teacher Editions (Volume 2 specifically) but if you prefer to have the complete solutions (answers worked out), consider adding the Annotated Solutions Manual. The Annotated Solutions printed book offers step-by-step solutions to all the student worksheets and tests. If you prefer, the worksheet solutions are also available in a video format. Accessed via an online portal, the Friendly Chemistry Annotated Solutions license provides video solutions for  all of the worksheets in the Student Book (test solutions are not included). The instructor talks through solutions while writing on a blue stylus on the problem sheet. The license includes lifetime use for one family in a home setting.

The Friendly Chemistry Audiobook Digital Streaming includes all the text lessons (with occasional commentary) read by the author. The Digital Streaming is for a single family to use in a home setting. (A group/classroom license is available from the publisher directly.) Please note, digital streaming access is for one year. While supplies last, an Audiobook USB flash drive is available. The optional Friendly Chemistry Student Workbook contains the consumable student worksheets from the Student Book. This is a great option if you teach more than one student, or if you would like to use the course over multiple years as the Student Book worksheets are not reproducible.

Whether choosing to teach Friendly Chemistry using the three required components, or adding any of the supplemental resources, this course offers homeschool families a well-explained, easy to follow option to teach basic chemistry at home. If your student is not intending to take higher-level science classes you could use this at the high school level (check your specific state requirements), although you may wish to include additional lab experience. Friendly Chemistry would also make an excellent introductory chemistry course for students who would benefit from familiarity with the important concepts they will encounter with a college preparatory high school course like Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Chemistry or Chemistry Matters.
