Made for teaching ages 15–18

Fast, pin-sharp, full-screen animation…

…showing addition, substitution, mechanisms, experiments, IR, NMR and much more. JSmol 3D models highlight shape, angles, charge, hydrogen bonding…

Ideal for teaching on a whiteboard

… and for students to revise with. These interactive, quickfire visuals really help your message so you can get on with your lesson. Plus it’s impossible to forget how to use them.

A huge animation library

Beautifully-organised by familiar headings in your exam — you soon find what you need. No class lists to enter; nothing to install, nothing to slow you down. Everything was made to develop understanding and save you time.

What teachers say

“We use it wherever we can in a variety of lessons across the key stages. Its focus is AS/A level but its features are so good that we weave them into GCSE and even KS3.”

Comprehensive School

“This is excellent value for money. It’s a unique collection of powerful tools that facilitate teaching in an enormous number of lessons.”

FE College

“Doesn’t put words in the teacher’s mouth – it simply provides the images needed to aid explanations of concepts such as mechanisms, NMR, polarity and organic reactions.”

International School

“The beauty of this software is the way it picks concepts that would need countless words or pictures on the board to convey. It presents them as crystal clear images and animations.“

FE college

“Too often we buy things which see usage once or twice a year but this software is being used all the time. Easily accessed, simple to use, single location making it easy to manage and use. Worth every penny and surprisingly pleasantly priced.”

Tertiary College

“There is animation of the experiments you would associate with the series of compounds. This can help students to appreciate what was actually happening. Bunsen burners, taps, droppers are operated by clicking on them. As the experiment proceeds, text explains and gives chemical equations. This is not intended to substitute for practical work but does provide a great reminder. How many of us ever actually revisit a practical lesson during the revision programme? Also, it can provide a basis for homework that reinforces a practical lesson.”

Schoolzone – teacher evaluation

“It evidently accelerates the teaching and learning process, leaving the learners with a clear mental image to help them remember. You see their understanding grow. As a teacher it gives me great confidence that a complex idea has been clearly conveyed, and this is backed up by the enthusiastic response of learners.”

Sixth Form College

“…offers a range of presentation styles for introducing new ideas, practising ideas, and quickly revising past concepts. Using different learning styles for individuals is too often neglected at KS5 but this resource prevents that being the case. It is very useful when planning lessons because it automatically allows the use of visual learning in every lesson as its content is so broad.”

Comprehensive School

“It doesn’t ‘replace the teacher’ but it does allow me to teach more effectively. I use it at any time, even for short ‘starters’ or ‘plenaries’ within a lesson. It needs no adaptation and has lots of branches to enable differentiation within a lesson. Teaching can become tailored to individual student needs as you respond to students in the lesson and direct them to appropriate work.”

Sixth Form College

“This is great to dip into and find just what you need. There was very little lag getting underway with your first lesson. The format allows relevant tools to be rapidly accessed with minimal preparation. It offers a very user-friendly, time-efficient way to make teaching presentations varied, engaging and effective.”

Secondary School

“The unanimous view of all the chemistry teachers is that it is a fantastic piece of software and they use it wherever they can in their teaching. One stated ‘it is the best chemistry software I have ever used — it is fantastic’. Our pupils are developing a far better understanding of Organic Chemistry as a direct result of its use.”

Secondary Academy School

“…offers a range of presentation styles for introducing new ideas, practicing ideas, and quickly revising past concepts. Using different learning styles for individuals is too often neglected at KS5 but this resource prevents that being the case. It is very useful when planning lessons because it automatically allows the use of visual learning in every lesson as its content is so broad.”

Comprehensive School

“Roger Frost’s Organic chemistry is highly recommended and sets a challenge to all other ICT producers to create software that is as user- and teacher-friendly and yet integrates seamlessly into lessons. Start of a new wave of software, developed to seamlessly integrate into teaching and learning, rather than something that takes over the whole lesson. It is an example of just the sort of software that schools need to invest in.”

ASE School Science Review

“Organic Chemistry facilitates explanation of homologous series, patterns in properties; molecule shape and polarity. It brings static mechanisms to life so that curly arrows actually mean something. Models, experiments and questions all readily available at the click of a mouse. Trends and patterns such as the change in acidity, inductive effects and polarity of molecules are also clearly illustrated. It allows you to manipulate an isomer’s structure in order to form other compounds.”

Develop understanding

You can use a demo sample below but first watch the video with an eye for red objects.  You'll soon get the idea that when you click something that's red, you see it animate. Many of our animations run and pause at a teaching point.  The video clips opposite were filmed in low resolution: when you try the real animation, you'll see it's pin-sharp.  It looks best on the biggest screen you have.

RUN, PAUSE, REPEAT
