After you’ve learned something in class, you can go to ChemGuide and read the correct section about it. This is the site with the best explanations I’ve ever found and it will help you to understand new ideas really thoroughly.

Molecule of the Month has been running since 1996, which means there are a whole lot of molecules here. Great science and quite entertaining.

This is a really good site with loads of interesting little stories about weird elements, new discoveries or uses of chemistry. Also has a book club where they talk about new popular science books, so might give you ideas of something you’d like to read.

In Year 13 you will have the opportunity to participate in the Royal Society of Chemistry Olympiad, which is a written exam that tests your chemistry skills and ability to apply them to unfamiliar contexts. You can prepare for this by having a look at some of the RSC materials such as past papers, mark schemes and the support booklet.
