The following links are videos and resources helps for each lab using Exploring Creation with Chemistry by Jay L. Wile. We are using the 1st edition even though there is a newer edition (2nd edition) available because we can find used copies of the 1st edition at a cheaper price. Since I like to keep our schooling as frugal as possible, this is one of the ways to save money. I haven't compared the Table of Contents between the editions so the listing below is based on the 1st edition Table of Contents.
I have created a syllabus/lesson plans using the Exploring Creation with Chemistry. You can find it HERE. We haven't used it yet so it may need to be adjusted. Feel free to use it how you see fit for your family.
I need to double check these videos: HERE, HERE (free homeschool chemistry curriculum),
