Remember Anything

I always loved chemistry class, though I can’t say I remember much of what I learned. The basic principles of chemistry stayed with me though, even if I can’t remember exactly what they are. It seems that the stuff I learned in my chemistry books were more abstract than I thought, and perhaps they apply more to every day life than I thought they did. When I chose to take the class in school, I was more excited about the cool experiments or kids play furniture than I was about the class itself. I had no intention of following any career path that involved chemistry, but I really wanted something different from the boring learn-from-your-book classes I had for the rest of the day.

If you home school, you might be looking for chemistry books to teach your children the basics. Though this is often a high school class, you can always introduce them to the very basics at a young age. Home schooling has the advantage of flexibility. If you whip out chemistry books and the kids musical bench early, they will be fascinated at what is inside. If you can pull off a few experiments, your child may remember those when choosing a path later in life. It never hurts to take more in depth chemistry courses in college, no matter what career path they choose.

You can find chemistry books online, or you can buy them in a bookstore. If you buy them for home schooling, make sure you find something that is appropriate for their age. The younger the child, the simpler the chemistry books you want to buy. There are very simple ones and kids rockers out there, made just for the youngest students. Many come with simple experiments you can do with your kids, and very simple and illustrated explanations and directions.

I still have chemistry books in my closet, though I’m not sure why I save them when I’ve gotten rid of most of the others. I guess there is something magical about doing an experiment, even if you do it just to entertain yourself. If you have chemistry books, don’t be afraid to show your kids what you can do, as this will give them a lifelong interest in experimentation. Most of the greatest things in our world are the result of experimenting, and that is something we should never lose. Dust off your chemistry books and give your child a lifelong sense of wonder and discovery.
