    This is probably a dumb question, but you know there are Plato high school courses, too, right?

    Oh, we will definately be using those. We use the middle school ones now as a supplement to whatever text we are using. My DD loves them but, at least for middle school, they didn't seem like they were complete.

    The high school materials look better. I imagine we will do something similar with the high school ones. My DD loves for me to be involved in teaching and demands lot of labs so I definately need a text and a TE as well.

    Well, unhelpful then. I know you're good with curriculum options, so it seemed unlikely that you'd have found Plato's middle school science courses and not their high school ones. smile

    Sorry, we were away for the holidays and I didn't have a chance to look back at this.
    If you go to Hewitt's Physics there are a couple of emails you can write to and ask for an inspection copy. Publishers often send out inspection copies for free for 30-60 days. You can then look them over and decide if you want them. If not, you just send them back within the allowed time frame.
    Hewitt's videos and labs are good too, although some videos seem a bit dated. (But then again, there aren't many good physics videos out there anyway.)
    Hope this helps
