Bite-Sized Post-16 Chemistry Learning & Teaching Resources

About
These project resources are peer-produced. The objective of the project was to develop resources primarily for either student self-study or to support learning and teaching.
These resources cover a range of topics that require the use of 3D structures of molecules and complexes. They can be viewed using the CCDC's Access Structures webpage, which is free to access online without a CSD licence.
Some of our initial resources were based on the undergraduate teaching exercises developed between the CCDC and Prof Greg Ferrence from Illinois State University, Normal, IL, USA. The resources are also used by Dr Hoare for on-campus outreach sessions such as Year 12 Summer Schools.
Creators
These resources were developed between 2011-2014 by year 12 Nuffield Bursary students, an undergraduate outreach summer intern, and two stage 4 MChem project students.
The students who were involved in producing resources for this project were:

Other Resources
If you have landed directly onto this page and you are a post-16 or equivalent chemistry teacher you may also be interested in our parallel project with the Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe) which produced a range of learning and teaching resources on amino-acids, proteins, enzymes and DNA. They are hosted on a set of webpages on this website - please just hover your mouse over the PDBE PROJECT title at the top of this page (which will reveal a drop-down menu).

If you are a post-16 (or equivalent) chemistry teacher in the UK (or anywhere else in the World, as our resources are designed to be generic) and have any questions, suggestions or comments, please contact me either by email at [email protected] or via Twitter @PHoare1963. I look forward to hearing from you!
