Roger Frost's Organic Chemistry provides stepwise mechanisms; interactive equations and comparison devices to help understanding. We often put models (perhaps with a surface as above) and formulae side-by-side to show patterns in organic chemistry.

All our animation is Adobe Flash playing in a browser. Everything is optimised to load very fast across the Internet. Our models use industry standards such as Chime. Our use of Jmol brings the resource to Mac OSX and Linux. Our program is rock-solid, open-source code or SCORM based.

Our 3D models have information you will use in teaching. For instance, when you teach about restricted rotation you can try to rotate groups around a double bond. When you look at benzene and phenol you'll compare see how charge is distributed. Instructions are built into the package.

These videos show there's more to a model than balls and sticks. The videos will make you into an expert in a couple of minutes:
