Chemistry Confusion

I've been trying to decide what to do about Kristen's Chemistry course next year. Chemistry and Trig are the only subjects I'm really stressing about. I know a lot of homeschoolers just don't bother with these courses, but I don't just want to get her into college; I want her to be able to go on a full scholarship.

I'm thinking that Apologia is the way we want to go for Chemistry. I've heard great things about the caliber of the material. I've also taken a look at the Dive DVDs that are available to go along with the material. If this option doesn't work, we may look at a co-op as well.

One thing is for sure, instead of purchasing a MFW book for use with Exploring Creation Through Chemistry , I'm going to try the lesson plans found at DonnaYoung.org first.

I'm also so very tempted to go with Switched on Schoolhouse, because it would be much easier for me, but I'll hold off on that for a while. Maybe we could do a hybrid approach of the two. :)
