Organic Chemistry is a quality animated online resource for teaching ages 15–18. It is packed with more than enough animations to ensure that your exam topics are well covered at different levels (e.g. year 1/2 of the course). We list them on this page. You can teach using your exam headings or using general headings (such as oxidation; nomenclature). There are also selected sets of animations for secondary level, biology and the alphabetical list below. You’ll soon decide on the best of these numerous ways to access the animation.
