interactive and animated – like a set of really useful colour slides for a computer projector, large display or whiteboard to help students visualise the concepts and chemicals of organic chemistry.

mechanisms – hand crafted step-by-step mechanisms for you to talk through in your style. Curved arrows pre-empt which electrons will ‘move’.  A smart slider gives you control and repeats a step interactively. Here is electrophilic addition, and the rest, at their best.

experiments – lest students forget this is chemistry, we show equations beside their reagents. As they’d need when revising or revisiting, they see reactants heated or otherwise without need for goggles or gas masks. The experiments will fuel discussions about safety

models – featured all through are 3D industry-standard ‘Chime models’ that are the fabric of chemistry on the world wide web. As in universities and industry, you can measure the models, move and see them beside their 2D friends. Our tutorial gives you the skills needed in a minute. We use models to compare isomers, show a functional group or ‘see’ electron density and hydrogen bonding. The models work just as they do on the web – so you can save them to a file and manipulate them further.

fast – life is busy enough so each of these lovely interactives take just minutes of lesson time. Use one to make a point and then get on and do what you normally do!

easy – you will not need a manual to teach with our software. Just click the red coloured items – each time you click ‘red’, we drive the animation to the next step. This focuses attention, avoids now-what-do-i-do and lets everyone concentrate on the chemistry.

challenging puzzles for students – let the students use it – ask them to play teacher and enjoy how well they take to the challenge. Read on for more about this in teaching
