Hi Sue,

I am not sure what level your daughter is on, but Math U See might be a good choice for math. Math U See includes videos and manipulatives. mathusee.com/

One good choice for grammar might be Winston Grammar which uses cards to help the kids learn the parts of speech. http://www.winstongrammar.com/ There is a basic set and an advanced set.

For science, I have always had the kids make books by illustrating what they are learning. They draw or trace a picture relating to the major topics in the chapter. I have them put their pictures in a magnetic type photo album. This is a sneaky way to get them to study, since it takes some time to copy or draw a picture to illustrate what they are learning. They are able to review by looking at their books. My daughter is a senior, but she still likes to illustrate some things that she is learning in Marine Biology even though I no longer require her to draw things.

We are using PASS LEON materials for Marine Science. These are free materials. You can get access to the teacher's keys and guides by emailing the site manager. She will send you a password and user name. I had to email a few times to figure out how to access them. There is practically a full high school curriculum complete with some electives free on this website.

I hope this helps some.

Blessings,
Susan
