Everything here is free to use
No subscription, no time limit and nothing to install. It runs in the browser on a classroom PC, a smartboard or a pupil’s phone.
Revision notes
Written against each board’s own specification, topic by topic, with diagrams, exam technique, common mistakes and FAQs.
Interactive 3D models
Orbitals, bonds, shapes, lattices and mechanisms that pupils can rotate and step through. Put one on the board and turn it as you explain.
Practicals in 3D
A 3D bench for every practical page, on all five boards: the apparatus, the method step by step, results, errors and the exam points.
Check questions
Short questions built into the notes, marked instantly, so pupils find out whether an idea has landed while they are still reading.
Three ways to use it this week
Every resource has its own address, so anything below can go on the board, into a slide or into a homework message.
Turn a model on the board
Open a note with a 3D model and rotate it while the class watches: sigma and pi bonds, a tetrahedral carbon, an ionic lattice. Ask what they notice before you explain it.
Open the sigma and pi modelLet the check questions do the checking
Pupils read a note on their own device and answer the questions built into it as they go. Each answer is marked straight away, so pupils know at once whether they have understood, and can ask before moving on.
Find a topicSet a practical as homework
Copy a practical page’s link into your homework message. Pupils run the 3D bench, follow the method, then work through the results, errors and exam questions before the real practical.

Pupils can read the notes without an account. At home, after a number of notes, a pupil is asked to create a free account, which also keeps their progress. In school we would rather that never happened mid-lesson.
Register your school’s network once, and every pupil reading on it is never asked to sign up, until the end of the school year.
- Use a computer that is on the school’s network, not a phone on mobile data.
- Press the button below. It takes a second and asks for nothing.
- That is it. Pupils on the same network read freely until 31 August.
Done. This network is recognised until 31 August, and pupils on it will not be asked to sign up.
That did not work from this connection. Try again from a school computer, or email us.
We store a one-way scrambled form of the network address, never the address or a name, and it expires each August. Schools on JANET, London Grid for Learning and SWGfL networks are recognised automatically.
Teaching resources, free as well
Once the revision notes are complete, we are building lesson resources for every topic, written by the same author and matched to the notes your pupils already use.
PowerPoints
Lesson slides for each topic, built from the same explanations and diagrams as the notes, so what you teach and what pupils revise match.
Worksheets
Printable worksheets for each topic, matched to the notes, for classwork or homework.
Questions schools ask us
Is it really free?
Yes. The revision notes, 3D models, practical pages and check questions are free to use in class and at home, with no time limit. The PowerPoints and worksheets will be free too.
Do pupils need an account?
Not to read. On a school network you have registered, or one we recognise automatically (JANET, London Grid for Learning, SWGfL), pupils are never asked to sign up. At home, after a number of notes a pupil is asked to create a free account, which also keeps their progress, trophies and topic map.
Are there adverts?
No. No adverts are shown anywhere on the site.
Is anything sold to pupils?
Separate, paid topic courses exist, with video lessons and marked exam practice, and some notes mention them. Nothing in the free resources depends on them, and no note is locked behind them.
Who writes the resources?
Dr. Mohammed Al-Fatah: a chemistry teacher with a PGCE and QTS, a First Class chemistry degree and a Distinction MSc from UCL, and a decade of A Level teaching. Every note is written against the board's own specification.
Which exam boards are covered?
Edexcel International A Level, Edexcel A Level (9CH0), AQA (7405), OCR A (H432) and Cambridge International (9701), each written separately for its own specification.
Can I show the 3D models in class?
Yes. They run in the browser on a classroom PC or smartboard with nothing to install. Drag to rotate; most also have buttons to step through the stages.
What data is collected about pupils?
Pupils can read without an account. The cookie banner lets each visitor choose which cookies to allow, and the privacy policy explains what is collected and why.
When will the PowerPoints and worksheets arrive?
We are finishing the revision notes first, then building the teaching resources topic by topic. Tell us which topics you want first and we will start there.
Tell us what you would like us to build
Which topics you want PowerPoints and worksheets for first, a mistake you have spotted in a note, or a resource that would help your department.
