Uncovering Chemical Secrets: e-learning support for A level Chemistry

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.
