Irfan Latif reviews this video resource

This is an incredibly powerful piece of software developed by Cardiff University, the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Gatsby Charitable Foundation. It provides comprehensive video materials for a range of chemical reactions that will be covered at GCSE and A-level.

Some reactions now cannot unfortunately be undertaken in a school laboratory (which is a shame in itself) and this collection of high quality media allows these reactions to be viewed in class. Although videos are in no way a substitute for the real thing, which brings students closer to chemistry, this goes a long way to help overcome the problem.

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
