This CD-ROM is designed as an interactive teaching tool for tackling carbon chemistry at Key Stages 4 and 5. Using animations, puzzles, mechanisms and models, the package aims to provide a set of 'lecture notes' where the words have been replaced by pictures. The resource provides over 250 Flash -animated slides and five-plus hours of two-minute long animations, illustrating the main topics in organic chemistry. The software is intended to be used as either a direct teaching tool where the teacher discusses the slides with the students or as a student-based resource where the students use the slides as prompts to write notes.
