My oldest and youngest sons have taken classes at Potter’s School and their reviews range from fairly good to good. Biology and Geology is where you will find the most disagreement with secular textbooks.
This is not a Christian curriculum but it isn’t really an issue with forces and motion and such. I just started the Physical Science with my third high schooler so I can only really review the first part of it.

Which you can access for free but having the videos, plus homework questions, plus reading assignments all put together for you is worth a lot. Conceptual Academy started with Paul Hewitt who wrote a very well known and loved Conceptual Physics book. In following with the theme of choosing authors or teachers who love their topic CM style I could make some recommendations. If he loves to build things or learn how they work, you definitely want to pursue physical science or Physics. And what about next year? Should I keep trying Apologia or switch to something else? Any advice from my fellow homeschool parents would be greatly appreciated. And today I am ready to just shelve the books, but then what? I don’t know where to go from here? I know it’s not about the grades but about how much he knows and cares, and about his relationship with God through creation, but it won’t look good on his transcript when I can’t put anything down for science his 9th grade year. So how can I expect him to understand and do the work when I don’t understand it, and can’t help him? I feel like his whole first year of high school science was wasted because we spent so much time trying to figure this stuff out. I much more enjoy and understand earth science-animals, trees and plants, etc.
They might as well be speaking in a foreign language. He is still struggling and when I try to help him, I can’t even understand what the book is talking about. We put it aside after the first term and I had him just reading a living science book for term 2. Let’s try Physical Science this year.” Well, that was very frustrating for him also from day one. So this year I thought, “He likes knowing how things work and putting things together. That may have been because he wasn’t putting forth best effort. I tried doing Apologia General Science last year and it didn’t go so well. My son and I have been really frustrated with science the last couple years.
