Stacey,
Thanks for sharing a bit more! Did your daughter complete the science in MTMM as written, or did she add Carbon Chemistry and the Chemistry 101 DVDs? Depending on what she did with the MTMM science, you could pursue several different options.
If she did the MTMM science as written, I would probably call the course Intro. to Chemistry. If she added the Carbon Chemistry and the Chemistry 101 DVDs, you could call it just Chemistry on the transcript. The difference is subtle but does make a difference. If she just did an introduction to Chemistry, then another pass through chemistry is needed. If she added the Carbon Chemistry and Chemistry 101 DVDs, she could probably forego another chemistry, knowing that she isn't destined for a science-related field so she will not be hampered by a less rigorous chemistry approach.
If she does need another pass though chemistry, I would be inclined to wait to do that until she has completed Algebra I (meaning we would delay taking the deeper chemistry until she is a senior, and then do the Dr. Wile text at that point). Either way, it is looking to me like she needs a physical science or possibly an Integrated physics and chemistry for her junior year.
As far as physical science goes, did she do the Advanced version of Exploration Education when she did Revival to Revolution, or did she do the Standard version? If she did not do the Advanced version, she could possibly just do the advanced portion (meaning days 4-5 of the advanced version of EE) to complete her physical science credit for high school for her junior year. Or, if preferred she could do the Integrated Physics and Chemistry instead, but this will depend on what she did in MTMM for chemistry, as we don't really want to list 3 chemistry courses on her high school transcript (i.e. Intro. to Chemistry, Integrated Physics and Chemistry, and Chemistry).
So, if you can share more about whether you added Carbon Chemistry and the Chemistry 101 DVDs to the MTMM science, or whether you did MTMM science as written, we can unravel this a bit more!
Blessings,
Carrie
