Penny Bagshaw reviews this e-learning organic chemistry resource

This e-learning resource grew from a full-day workshop for A-level chemistry students, developed by the School of Chemistry at Cardiff University in association with Techniquest. It could equally well be used by teachers and students as a stand-alone enrichment activity.

The content is based on the organic chemistry of a range of natural products from plant sources - terpenes and terpenoids, that can be easily extracted and have simple enough structures to be understood by students at this level. 

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".
