Chemguide contains notes on all aspects of the A-level Chemistry specification. Separated into the main areas of chemistry, physical, inorganic and organic, this website is a very useful reference guide and will support your learning inside and outside the classroom.
Knockhardy Publishing contains notes and PowerPoint presentations for almost all topics within the OCR A-level Chemistry Specification.
Khan Academy Chemistry contains numerous videos clearly explaining the key principles of chemistry at Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 level. Whilst the videos are created for the American education system they are relevant to the English National Curriculum. The presentations are clear, concise and engaging, and an excellent resource to aid revision, consolidation of knowledge, or an introduction to a topic.
