WOW! HELLO,I AM A GCSE STUDENT AND MY GOD, YOUR WEBSITE HELPED ME SO MUCH!!! I USE IT EVERYDAY AND I LEARN EVERY TIME I GO ON IT. YOU TRULY ARE AMAZING. HAVE YOU MADE WEBSITES LIKE THIS FOR BIOLOGY AND PHYSICS? DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HAVEN'T AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE I ONLY GOT MY CHEMISTRY EXAMS ON THURSDAY 22 NOV. ANYWAY, YOU HAVE HELP ME SO MUCH AND I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH. BEST REGARDS, AHMED

Hello there! I just wanted to comment on your web-site. I had a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago and had to miss class at college (I'm in my second semester of medical school) and consequently fell super behind on my organic chemistry classes. Well, up until yesterday I had no clue how to identify alkanes, alkenes or name alcohols, and I have a test on this coming up Tuesday. Anyway, I have to say I was completely lost in my chemistry guide until I found your site. I'm repeating your quizzes over and over and by trial and error I'm learning how to identify the structures. I'm so happy! Now I can actually draw the structures on my guides' 'practice' pages. I hope I do good this coming Tuesday; at least I'm way more confident! Thank you so much! Your page is the best! Melanie

Great, easy to understand delivery of info. Well done and thanks! Jo (Mum of 12yr old boy with homework...)

Dear Doctor Brown, I am currently a trainee teacher, having recently finished my chemistry degree at the University of Liverpool, and would just like to let you know how useful I am finding your website, to help me write lesson plans and update my subject knowledge. You're doing a great job, and many of my friends on the course think so too. Thanks again, Jennifer

Hi, No mistakes spotted – I just wanted to say thanks! This website is so good – got titrations totally sorted now, thank you!!!!!! Beth

Dear Dr Brown, I think your site is absolutely brilliant. It is clear, easy to work through, good range of questions, answers supplied….fantastic. Thank you so much for taking the time to put it all together. From Ed, a very satisfied user

Hello, I felt that I just had to email you in order to thank you for the excellent science revision site you have created. My son is taking the first module of his science GCSE on the 22nd November this year. This has been rather a daunting prospect for him due to him only being in year 9 (age 13)! I really feel your site has helped him to relax and ENJOY his GCSE revision. Using you superb quizzes and worksheets have helped him prepare confidently for his forthcoming examine. Thank you so much. Kindest Regards, 'a mum'

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! your website has helped me so so so so so so much! My teacher is now quite impressed with all these new answers that i am sprouting out!! THANK YOU! Charlotte

Hi Dr Brown! I just want to thank you for the work you have done in Chemistry. This work has helped me to teach chemistry in a meaningful way to my learners. Keep it up DOC. From D.S.Siyaya in South Africa
 

Hello, I emailed you a few months ago regarding a few questions about your website and would really like to thank you for the help and support your website gave me while revising for my GCSE's. I got A* A* for my science double award yesterday so i am very pleased and grateful to the resources which helped me achieve this grade, thanks again, Emily

This is my first semester doing chemistry again after 20 yrs. I can say that this site is remarkable. As I learn to move around and explore the vast collection of information, I am becoming more and more confident. I am quick grasping new concepts. Your site provides information at a variety of different levels. Thank you so much, Helen

Dear Doc Brown, You probably get this all the time and even consider it annoying. But I am currently doing my GCSE's and your chemistry clinic website has helped me so much, I don't know what I would do without it!! I am so grateful for all the time you spend on this website, because I feel that it has helped so much. Thank you once again. Yours Sincerely, Natasha

Dear Doc, I am a science teacher. Your website has made life so much easier. I’d like to thank you for making science fun again. I am less stressed, more prepared and can tap into your bank of excellent resources when setting cover work. Your site is a God send, Your grateful colleague, CJC.

Thanks to your website it helped me study for my pre-midterms exam in organic chemistry this Saturday, July 28, 2007... I'm a 2nd year student of bs chemistry.. I'm from the Philippines.. God bless!!I would just like to say thank you for making such a fantastic sight! I really found it helpful and I now feel a lot more confident about taking my SAT'S exams well the science exams anyway, hope the sight continues!! Jennifer

Your fantastic website: Hi there, I am studying Chemistry in the evenings at Birkbeck and wanted to take the time out to tell you that your site is outstanding. I have struggled with acids and bases up till now and find your site easy to navigate and understand. Cheers, Leon.

Dear Doc Brown, I want to thank you as I have learned so much from your web site. I am a mother of a grade 9 and during exam  week I had so many over at the my house studying. I used your
notes to help them. Sincerely, a mother.

Hi Doc Brown Thanks for a great web site. Its very helpful to me struggling away in a small school on a ship in Monrovia, Liberia. George


Hi Doc Brown:- Thanks for a great web site. Its very helpful to me struggling away in a small school on a ship in Monrovia, Liberia, George

Hello. I found your webpage very good indeed, especially the immediate answer and score results at the end. Although I looked at it to see if it would be helpful to my daughter taking her SATs next week, I soon found myself hooked and wanted to do quiz after quiz. Do you do the same for maths and English? (no time and not my specialist subjects, especially the English!)

Thanks so much for your help. The site is so good. I learning so much and you make it interesting. I like the diagrams they help a lot. Sincerely Nancy

Higher modules are so hard to find good resources for so this site has been VERY VERY helpful and helped me get my all A's n my chemistry module tests!, thank you. Lesley

Dear Doc Brown, I'm currently an upper sixth student trying to get through his A level Chemistry, with a view of studying the subject at university (I've already got a few interviews). Tonight I was using your site to help with my naming of aromatic organic compounds. I'd just like to say thank you for making your excellent notes available online - they're accurate, easy to follow and extremely helpful. It's obvious that a lot of time went into making the site, and I'd like you to know that your efforts are extremely appreciated. Keep up the good work! Thanks, Aled

Hello Phil, I want to thank you for your advice, its very useful and I will definitely take it on board. I'm very surprised that you replied back, I also want to thank you for taking time out to reply to my message. I want to congratulate you overall, because your website is very, very useful. Thank you once again, God bless
Karen

Doc, you are a true legend. you taught me at Whitby for 3 years and you continue to (even though I am 35 now). you were a fab teacher back in the late 80's and it seems now your reputation is now worldwide!! seriously thanks for all the work you put into this site. it is truly the best site for both teachers and students. you continue to make a massive impact on my learning and on those i teach. many thanks doc. Chris (now head of science!)

I love using this site to study it helps me pass all of my science tests. My name is Darrius and I'm 13. Just so u would know I have this page marked to my favorites. GOOD JOB ON DOING THIS SITE

Dear Doc Brown, Just though I would say a big thank you for all of the help that your website has given me. It is incredibly kind of you to put all those resources up there and all so relevant. Thank you for your time and it has really helped during my chemistry coursework, when can you get some Biology and Physics coursework details up there!? Thank again, Rishab

hello doc b, your website has really helped me get high scores on my science. now i love science, all thanks to you!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xx Delia

Hi Doc Brown, I first discovered this fantastic site about 18 months ago. I was looking for something to help my son with his GCSE Chemistry - he prefers on-line to books. (Fingers crossed that all that time spent on-line will be rewarded when the results come out later this month). He is taught at home and, with the help of a distance learning course, I adapted enough experiments to make them suitable for doing in the kitchen with easily accessible chemicals/equipment. This coming September (06) I am repeating all this with a small group of home educated teenagers (Yr 8 - 10). They think chemistry's all about big whizz-bang experiments. Hopefully with the help of your website I can show them that the theory is just as much fun. Thank you for allowing teachers and students to print off quizzes, worksheets, etc. I was dreading having to make my own. Please keep up the good work. This is the best chemistry site I've seen. Lisa

4 Months ago I was a D Strident in Triple Award Chemistry, then I discovered your site. I received an A today. Thank you very much. Shrey

Dear Doc. Brown, We would like to say thank you so much for your website it has helped us so much. We are just going into year 11 and are doing triple science, we struggle with it quite a bit especially chemistry and biology. One of our teacher told us to take a look at your website to see if it was any help for our course work and our homework for the 6 weeks holiday, we would just like to say thank-you so much as your website has really helped us soooo much we now understand the subjects we are studying such as "rates of reaction" and "catalysts". We had to say thank-you so we have written you this e-mail. Hopefully we can now go on to get good grades and be able to study for the jobs we wish to have in the future. We shall continue to use your site.
Thanks again!!, Sincerely, Annabel & Lauren

Good Morning Doc Brown, Once again I feel it is only right to e-mail and say a huge THANK YOU for all the wonderful resources that you provide for KS3 and beyond. Without this excellent web site I am sure that as a state school we would not have hit our LA target for science '06!! Take care and know that across the country there must be many teachers like myself who regularly use the web site and are somewhat slow in giving thanks and appreciation! God Bless, Regards, Sarah I just thought that I would let you know how much your site helped me. Before discovering your site I was so stuck I was practically failing science, but with your concise, clear and simple notes I grasped the concepts with such ease. Thank you for the help! From Emma

wow - That's such a quick response - thank you. Would love to be added to your newsletter email list. You are doing a terrific job - keep it up! Thanks again, Many thanks, a frustrated teacher, P.S. have used you site a lot and think it is totally fab - a real life line! Anna

Thank you so much for your chemistry site!! it is so much help and i simply love it!! It has helped me so much in chemistry, hopefully i will definitely gain my A* at GCSE! i will definitely be coming back to the site for guidance and hello when i take my chemistry A - level! Your work is not unappreciated!! Thank you, A grateful GCSE student, Leanne

Dear doc Brown I'm a trainee teacher and I'd like to tell you how fab I think your site is. As an non-chemistry specialist who is required to teach chem, I love using your site to check my subject knowledge and get ideas. It's a wonderful resource. Thank you!!!!! Rachael, PGCE Student, Southampton

Hi Doc, Thanks for the good work done. I just found this website and it's just brilliant. A great contribution to science education. Well done! Robert

hi I am a yr 7 student who was introduced to your website by my science teacher. I love the website and think its excellent. my mum and I are racing each other on the computers. however, I was wondering if you could do some different subjects like maths or English or French, as this has helped me with my revision. I was also wondering if you could do a KS2 website for my three younger brothers. Thank you for taking the time to read this email and hope you will find the time to answer it. yours sincerely, Florence

Hi, I think your website is really brilliant. I have told all my friends revising this GCSE Edexcel Chemistry module to visit you website, only one problem with it why don't you also do it for the biology and physics modules then it would be perfect. Cheers, Eddy, PS Does the module simulation match up to the real thing? doc b. Well they seen to be just like the real modules and they tell you after each question where you went wrong and which are correct and it gives you an idea of how well you've performed, but i suppose the real test would be next Wednesday for the real thing!!!. well all the time and effort into your website is excellent and keep up the good work, Eddy (1 happy customer!!!!)

Dear Doc Brown, I wish to say thank you for your great site. I am teaching GCSE Chem in USA, and as the only chemistry teacher and a long time since I did Chem, I find your site invaluable. Thank you again, Sarah

Excellent site, Thank you, Dan.

This is an excellent source of revision, and the best thing is that there is such a variety and different formatting of the questions (redox-volumetric). zohra, A2 chemistry student

Just to say what wonderful, very helpful site this is. I've just started my A2 revision for Salters Chemistry, and this site is invaluable. I used it last year at AS, and I don't think I would have got an A without it. Thank you very much. C Young

Hello, I am writing this email, to say how much this website has been of use to me! I am doing my Gcse's, and its great for all higher chemistry work, please may you make a website on other subjects, that would be great! gcse student

Just wanted to drop a quick email to say how useful I have found your website in revision and general edification. I am going to be studying chemistry at university (hopefully Durham) and throughout my A level course have constantly referred to your website for information and help, and for general interest as well. Thanks! Yours gratefully Edward, St Albans

Dear Doc B, I received my GCSE O Level results last Friday. I managed to attain 6 distinctions, with an A1 in Chemistry. Thank you very much for your site, I appreciate your well thought-out notes and exercises, they most certainly helped me garner that much sought-after grade! Cheers, MY Wong (NAM)

Fantastic site!!! Its helped a great deal to understand rates of reaction more thoroughly. I'll be using this site more for revision!! Thank you once again. May!

Hi Doc just like to thank you for your excellent work, it really is an extremely useful site for students and teachers. thanks a lot, Jamila

KS3 quizzes - Fantastic stuff; I don't know where you find the time. Thank you again for a brilliant resource. Cheers, Simon (teacher), (doc b: I'm retired with a labour of love!)

Hi, this website has got everything and I'd like to thank you so much. I wish there was a Biology and Physics version! It has Higher parts and extended stuff and it's brilliant. I can tell my teacher has been printing off your sheets and giving them to us! Thanks again, Gowri

Dear Sir, Your site is way cool and has helped tremendously because I lost my notes and need to retake my modules. Thanx a million!!! Regards, AS level Student

hey! jes wanna say gr8 big thanks 4 ur website. i h8 revising from books n it jes puts me off-this has certainly helped! thanks a million. I am due to take resits for some modules in march and now i don't have to rely on the teachers textbook. thank you!!! wish me all the best. Maria

THANK YOU DOCTOR BROWN, YOU REMIND ME OF MY CHEMISTRY TEACHER, YOU ARE THOUGHTFUL AND
'OTHERS-CENTRED'. THIS IS SUCH A USEFUL WEBSITE FOR US 'CHEMISTS' TO USE IN BATTLING OUR JUNE EXAMS,
Aribim (I am now retired so the stress levels I shared with students are somewhat down-sized these days, but I'll keep the  Salters pages going!)

I'd just like to thank you for an absolutely great site. it beats every chemistry book my school forces upon me. Thanks again. Evan

I have been on your site and i found it very, very good. my friend thought is was good too YOU ROCK, HAVE FUN WITH YOU REACTIONS. Kit

What an excellent, helpful website. All my students use it, thank you for making it freely available. Edward

Just to say, Great site! - makes an interesting browse whether there’s a need or not! A mixture of work and pleasure! Cheers, Dave

Cool site. It's been very useful in notes, tests, revision etc. Thanks a lot. Sam, Zimbabwe

Dear Sir, I am currently working towards my mock GCSE's next week as well as my final GCSE exams in June, and I thought that I would drop you an e-mail to say that your web-site is fantastic and the best on the Internet! Your web-site provides a superb range of revision notes, which are then accompanied by quizzes. This combination makes the revision process a lot easier and a lot more thorough. Thank you! Yours sincerely J. W

Dear Dr. Brown, I would just like to say that your site is amazing, it helped me gain an A* in my GCSE. I am now doing AS and your site serves as a great reference, Thank you so much. Regards, Prashant

Thank you for providing this wonderful and tremendously helpful and exciting site. I have really enjoyed working with this. Again, thank you. J D L 8th grade Science teacher, Texas.

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your amazing chemistry website... I was looking for something like this to help my younger sister out to prepare her for her GCSEs, and this was just the thing that we needed. The site is fantastic and has everything we need to prepare her for her upcoming modules. I especially like the MCQs and the fact that there are loads of alternate but similar questions which helps her get familiar with topics and learn proper exam technique. Once again, thank you so much!! Keep up the good work!! Best regards, Maria

This is a fantastic site. I am a chemical engineer trying to help my wife who is taking a chemistry class pass it. This site helps. Thanks, Jim

A BIG THANK YOU FROM ME FOR HELPING ME UNDERSTAND MY CHEMISTRY COURSEWORK. WOULDN'T BEEN ABLE 2 DO IT WITHOUT YOU! YOU GOT ME AN A*! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH ONCE AGAIN. IT MUST HAVE BEN HARD SETTING UP THIS WEBSITE. BUT I HAVE TO SAY IT IS WORTH IT. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!! THANK YOU (X 10000000)!!!!!!

Thank you for making notes on the rates of reaction topic.. it has helped me so much. I would hate to think where I would b without it. I've got to write an evaluation now.. so maybe a should celebrate so soon. Many Thanks! Owain

Hi, I just wanted to say a HUGE, GIGANTIC, COLOSSAL thank you for making this brilliant masterpiece of a site and making it free for access. I just love all the stuff here and my primary revision material was from here and not surprisingly (because you have such 1st class material), I came out with two A*'s (I did Double Award Science). So thank you SO much. Ally

I just wanted to thank you for having such a marvellous site and for making it free to access.  Your GCSE Chemistry revision notes were much more helpful than the textbook that was recommended by my college. The quizzes were very good and I think that they probably helped me more than anything else to understand where my knowledge gaps were, fill them and then make sure they stayed filled. I've just got back from picking up my results and I got an A in Chemistry and I think that is a lot to do with using your website. Thanks, Claire

Your site is fantastic. Really useful for all of my exams i have taken !!! Is there any chance that the design of the website can be changed in anyway? You have so much great content now that it is beginning to look overcrowded and it takes ages to find what I am looking for. (just a suggestion though!) You have everything I need and more! Daniel (I'm working on the colour, crowding and navigation AND the alphabetical index should be a great help)

Doc Brown … I would like to say a HUGE thanks for making this website, you’ve made my revision so much more fun and easier to revise! So THANK YOU! Marc in Bradford

Just a quick note, obviously its the night before my paper 2. I found your site a few weeks ago and used it for all my revision for both papers, its much better than rummaging through all my papers and books. Just like to say how helpful its been, thanks a lot. Brian

Hi, I've just been using your chemistry site. It's such an excellent resource. Thank you so much for creating it, there's just so much content. Just thought I'd say thanks as it's come in very handy in my A2 coursework which I'm doing at the moment. Pete

Dear Doc Brown, I’ve just finished my first year of reading Medicine at Nottingham University. This is a very belated thank you for all of the time and effort that you have put into your Salter’s Chemistry Website. I was registered at a school that was so poor I attended only to take the exams. Studying independently for my A levels wasn’t the easiest thing to do. Your help  was invaluable in achieving this. Many thanks again. Here’s hoping that you’ll retire from your retirement one day! With kind regards, Jane

I just wanted to say a big thank you to you really, your site has been really useful to me with my revision; its very organised and lays the units and makes what is required of you crystal clear. If only all teachers were as motivated ay! Thanks again, it really decreased my panic levels. Lucy Anne

Hey there it's Hannah and Sarah we just want to thank you for some great revision notes - there 
better to understand than the text book! Thanks again, Hannah and Sarah

To Doc Brown, I just thought I would write and commend you on the fantastic website that you have enriched my learning and my teenage life with! I found your website by chance when I first started studying chemistry a year ago, when I used Google to search for information about electrolysis. After finding doc brown's chemistry clinic I needed to look no further. Since then I regularly refer to those pages of wisdom for help in anything and everything - homework assignments, revision or just trying to gain a better understanding. I have also told all the chemistry students I know about this wonderful gem and they see it as a treasure too. THANK YOU, YOU REALLY ARE GREAT! From the much happier for finding your website student, Claire in London

ur chemistry site is wkd!!!!! Is this suitable 4 the OCR board double science or not? Cindy

Hi Doc Brown, Just wanted to let you know you website is a lifesaver. I'm a technician in a college and I'm getting dropped off the deep end with 5 hours teaching organic chemistry tomorrow due to staff absence!! I've done it all at degree level, but that was 12 years ago. I'm feeling a lot less scared now though, thanks for a great site! John

YOUR SITE IS VERY GOOD AND IT HAS BEEN A REALLY GREAT HELP. COULD YOU TELL ME ABOUT ANY OTHER GOOD WEB SITES FOR REVISION ON SCIENCE STANDARD GRADE, INT 1 AND INT 2. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GRW

Hi, I just wanted to let you know I am very grateful I found you. Your website is better than I have ever seen and will make dramatic improvements in my SATs. (KS3) Shekar

I would like to tell you that (as you probably know already) your website is really useful and really organized. only doubt is if only I would have found it earlier instead of a month or so before the exams, thanks, Mohbin

Hi Phil, Thank you for your little message at the top of the Plants & Photosynthesis test. One of my year nine pupils pointed it out to me this morning just as we got started on the test; they were all very impressed! I believe 'The Head' (an ex-chemistry teacher so he can't be all bad) is going to mention it together with a plug for your website in his monthly newsletter to parents as I just happened to raise the subject over lunch. True fame at last my son! Kind regards, Richard

Excellent site, I use the word fills and revision checklists with GCSE pupils, with your logo on as acknowledgement. Hope this is OK. Thanks for all the hard work in producing an extremely useful resource. Simon, UK.

Hi, I'm currently studying for my GCSE's this summer, and just wanted to tell you how much your site is helping, thank you very much for the time and effort you must have put in. Tom

Hi Phil, as I mentioned to you in my email a month or so ago, I was planning to use some of your KS3 Biology tests for Saturday morning revision with parents and girls at Belle Vue Girls' School here in Bradford. Last Saturday was our big revision day and now I am writing to say a big thank you for allowing me to do so and also to report to you that your site was very well received by students but even better with parents. Most of them said that they really felt that the way the questions are structured has helped them to see which parts of the topic they need to brush up on. The head was also present and she appreciated the amount of work that has been put into the site.  Hope all is well with you and the workload is a bit thinner. As regards the school? It is an open entry comprehensive school for girls with over 90% Muslim students. Numbers are on the rise and we have over 1000 girls on role. I think (but don't hold me for this one ) that we were on the 16th place for improved schools and value added in UK this year. That tells a lot!! Hope this helps. Vlad (now retired the work-load is thinner!, I work most mornings on the website, but its the slower pace and feeling in control of the situation that makes the work more satisfying and hopefully, gradually improving the quality of the website to what it should be!!!)

Dear Doc Brown, I think your website is fantastic! I am working with a Year 9 class in an inner city comprehensive school. The class are a set 2, so some of the pupils are managing Level 5 of, more rarely,6, but the majority are around level 4. The quizzes are spot on for reinforcement and revision. However, I wonder if you could make it easier to print the quizzes, as I think they are good for homeworks, or lesson starters and it is not always convenient to use the laptops in class ( and not all pupils are on line at home). I have printed out several, but they are not particularly” printer friendly”. Any suggestions? Regards. Anna (print out the quizzes in landscape, but you don't get many on a page!)

I am so grateful for all the hard work you have put into this website, I am now directing all of my students to use your quizzes to help them revise. It is also very useful for student teachers looking for stimulus material for their classes. thank-you, Kim

Hi there Doc Brown: I am a chemistry teacher in Australia and thought I would give you some feedback per your request. Just came across your site and think you have a wonderful ambition 
to put everything together in one place. Just having a look  around .. what you have so far looks good - the time taken must be enormous. Marion

When I first started teaching back in 'the 60s' I was much taken by the idea of Teaching Machines. They were a new idea, simple and conceived before there was any hint we might have 
machines called computers in our schools one day. We were told they may well do away with the need for teachers in classrooms! Hmmm, I don't think even computers will quite manage that but 
if you had seen my year seven class yesterday revising their 'Forces and their Effects' module on Doc Brown's web site you might well have wondered if there was really a need for a teacher to be there. They were absolutely absorbed and really thrilled if they managed to get 100% right. Many thanks again. Richard

I just wanted to tell you that your website is a great help! Good job! bluemarble282

Dear Doc Brown, Your website is brilliant, I found you pages on calculations a life saver! I have my first AS chemistry exam tomorrow and was convinced I was going to fail as I hadn't quite understood what I was doing in most of the calculations or where the numbers come from. But now I do! Thank you so much! I think I will do fine now. Jen

Thank you ever so much for your quick reply and your very helpful information you clearly stated on your website...your knowledge seems extensive and never-ending and I would like to thank you again for all the help you've given me. Thank you again...and good luck for the future. With kind regards, Emily 

Dr Phil Brown, I'd jus' like to say what a wonderful website you have got. I have recommended it to all my friends and they say its very helpful. I am currently revising for my first examination module and your website has been a great help, and I'm sure I am not the only one who thinks it according to the number of visitors on the site. Thank you for taking the time to put all the information up onto the web to share with everyone. Yours Sincerely, Becky 

Dear Doc Brown, I am a teacher, doing as teachers do on Boxing Day marking and putting together some revision resources! I stumbled into your site - what a find. After doing a number of quizzes and generally familiarising myself with a small part of your excellent site I would like to make it the main stay of our school KS3 web revision. Following your suggestion I agree that pupil familiarisation with the icons is a key to the effective use of your resources. My intended web page, in word, is attached for your perusal and permission to use your links to specific topics would be greatly appreciated. In such a format it would dovetail with our teaching most effectively. Looking forward to hearing from you. Geoff (permission granted to construct link page to quizzes using my icons and source fully acknowledged, and I've adapted the page for use on this site)

I just wanted to say thank you for making your site with chemistry notes. I've found it extremely helpful and I believe I might have been driven insane without it, so thanks again!  Christine

Initially I rather frowned on your neat little illustrations that go with each question because I felt that they would confuse students trying to understand what the question was asking but they are so good as illustrations that I now feel it would be a great shame if they were removed. I think labelling them as 'Examples!' is a good idea and I tell my pupils that they are generally not directly involved in the question and that seems to solve the problem (if one ever existed anywhere but in my mind that is). I used your KS3 Chemistry combined quiz - 8E and 8F - today with a normally pretty disruptive group of year 8 children and was very impressed by the way in which most of them got down to work and became quite involved in the quiz. In order to focus their attention I always give my classes a table to fill in when doing one of your quizzes. When they have found the correct answer to a question they have to grade it as 'Hard', 'Fairly Hard' or 'Easy'. The objective is simply to get them to think about the question itself and not just about getting the right answer. Many thanks again for providing us all with a really useful resource for our teaching. Richard

Thanks for such a fantastic, user friendly and fun site....As a PGCE Sec student its just such a good source of info, it must of taken you hours and hours. so many thanks for taking the time to so it. Just one thing, please could you do the same thing for Physics!!! Well a girls gotta try. Thanks again. Sarah

Hey Doc Brown - thanks so much for the incredible site that you have created.! I use it so often and now my pupils are asking for work from your site. I am delighted to see the jumbled up sentences for pupils to sort out - this builds nicely upon the types of activities from the KS3 Intervention and Booster materials. If you can, then more of these will be helpful for the C./D/E GCSE pupils. Again thanks for the resources and interaction for pupils. Regards Sarah

Hi Doc Brown, Firstly I love the animations and my year 8 (UK) classes all love the quizzes from your website. I would like to ask your permission to carry out an on-line test with the class in the near future, so do I just ask you by e-mail?!? Or do I need to contact you more formally?? Your site is fantastic on all counts, chemistry, biology and physics, I really don't know how you do it!! But I am sure glad that you do!! Thanks again, Doc Roberts

Hello again! I contacted you a little earlier this week, to thank you for putting your site on the web. It really did help immensely in my revision for my Yr. 9 SAT Physics Mock. Well this is just to say a double thank-you, as I got my result on Friday, and I am pleased to say I got 95% and only lost one mark in the entire paper! Thanks once again-your site really did boost my confidence. Rhea (Wales)

Searching for a fun way for year 9 to revise for exams after Xmas, stumbled across your site, thought it looked familiar from a few years ago, and yes it was! Student teacher with me on first teaching practice is also hooked! Glad you're still working hard, is this what retirement is all about ? Best wishes, have a great Christmas, see you around sometime. Sarah

I just want to say what a useful site this is. I am 47 and haven't studied chemistry since school. I am trying to help my son with the quantitative part of his GCSE course and your site with the worked examples is invaluable. Many thanks, Sharon

Hi Doc, Love the site and understand the amount of time spent putting it together - excellent work, sir! I teach secondary science (all 3 to GCSE) in the Midlands and regularly use your site to 'refresh' my memory. I think the content you have covered so far is great, especially as you have covered a lot of the new QCA stuff. Your quick MCQ tests are great and ones I will be pushing with my pupils now we have converted fully to the way of QCA rule, sorry, schemes of work. Many thanks and kind regards, Matthew

Doc Brown, big yes to animations!! and this is a wonderful site. I'm a student teacher and this is the best site I have found so far. Thank you, Donna

I have no queries but what I want to say is that your website is truly inspirational. And I really like the notes especially those on organic chemistry which I find very easy to understand. I happen to be an Open University student doing 3 science-based courses. Thank you so much for your website. It is really helpful. Maria

Just to say a big thank you, you're a legend for setting up this site. Thanks! Just thought I'd let you know appreciation of myself and many others....Its fantastic. Any plans for more A2 things pre-exams in June 2005 btw? Thank you again, Melanie 

Dear Dr. Brown, Thank you for the information. The revision notes are very useful. I have another suggestion to make. The opening page of your site index is quite different to read and understand for a first time reader. It would be more helpful if you took the information from your site index and put it on several different pages. This, that I have suggested above is only an idea. Presently, I feel that the website is quite helpful and informative, but I have to spend a couple of hours trying to orientate through the masses of information. However, many of my friends and classmates, are not as patient as I am, and so therefore feel 'overwhelmed' by your site index, and thus are discouraged to look further and do not use the website. This, I feel is a shame, since your website is one of the REALLY INFORMATIVE websites. Yours, Eliza (bravo!, work on the 4th re-navigation revamp has started)

Dear Dr. Brown, I have just answered one of your emails. I work for BT in India. I am very pleased with your Web site and have referred it to my wife who in turn has referred it to her colleagues and students. I am sure millions of students round the world are benefited by the simplicity of your website and makes Chemistry fun and easy to learn. You have a happy family, going by your website. May God bless you and your family in all your efforts. Regards Daniel

I don't know if you are still contactable by this email address - u helped me  out with a load of chemistry I was stuck with about 6 months back, I got my results and I got a B in my A level chemistry, with an A in maths and a B in  ICT, so I got into my first choice uni which was bath to study chemistry. just thought I would let you know that all turned out well in the end, and 
to thank you once again for all your help. Abby

I am just about to start my NQT year as a chemistry specialist and would like to say thanks for the help your site has given me over the last year. It has been great for refreshing my knowledge (it was a long time since I’d tackled some stuff I had to teach). I’m sure I will continue using it in the future, especially for testing with pupils on the interactive tests. The only bad comment I can make is that sometimes the site (especially indexes) are too fussy – too much info, colours etc on one page. It can make it a bit hard to focus. Other than that, it’s great! Thanks again, Jenny

Animations help to fix questions (and answers!) in students' memories. Also help to keep subject light when exams make everything rather strenuous, many thanks for your excellent work on this marvellous site! Regards Elizabeth

Dear Doc Brown, It has been a while since I looked at your website and I was delighted to see that you were branching out into Biology and Physics for KS3 pupils. Thanks very much - a site like yours is invaluable for those of us with limited computing skills who want to make lessons more interactive and interesting for pupils! I will try to check more often to see what else appears in the next few months. Yours sincerely, Jane, Science Co-ordinator

hi I think your site is brilliant! it has really helped me with my studies and homework, I will continue to use your website for further information. thanks again Jonathan.

Brilliant site. some of the biology diagrams used (e.g. Unit 7A quiz) are a bit 'busy' especially for lower ability pupils. I have added your site to my Favourites and intend to use it in the classroom to brighten things up - this will be far better than boring paper quizzes. Val

Hi Thank-you so much. Your notes are very good and once I got your e-mail I started using them. I am a US teacher. I graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Biology. I am teaching 3 science classes this fall and I am preparing as much as possible for the year. Your notes are very helpful in organizing the material. I am mixing things up a bit from the textbook outline. I really appreciate your timely response and generosity! May God Bless You. April

The site really is magnificent. It helped me a great deal in the solution of problems I came across while doing the topic of bonding and structure. Sidrah

Hi there, We love your site and the information that we can cover but is it possible to take away the flashing images because they are so distracting that we can’t concentrate on the text. Emilyto quiz animations

Hi Doc Brown! I am a 16 year old Singaporean girl who will be taking the GCE ‘O’ Level this year. I came across your site by accident earlier this year and has been using it ever since. It had been a great help and I just wanted to thank you for taking time out to put the Chemistry information online. Though I am not studying the exact same topics as the Western countries, I had received a lot of help from your site. Thank you once again and keep up the fantabulous (fantastic plus fabulous) work. Yours Sincerely, Abra Chan

I would like to say thank you for making such a brilliant site. Being so close to my modular sciences, I was dismayed to find my teacher had mislaid my book during her absence! Your site taught me all I needed to help me remember and I'm writing so say thank you in saving me from months of catch-up! Thanks a lot Cassie (we never lose books Cassie, we carefully store them and forget where put em'!)

Wow! Your web-site has been such a help, in gathering all my thoughts together in preparation for my exam tomorrow. It has also helped me extend the revision I was doing at home too. I am hoping to do Chemistry at Bath university next year, so I'm hoping to get an A in Chem, I’m sure your site has helped me immensely working towards this. Anyway, thanks for making a brilliant resource for everyone who’s doing chemistry, I have recommended it to all my Chem friends. Thanks James (I sincerely hope you get an A in chemistry and bon voyage to Bath)

To whom it may concern: I really like ur site and believe me it has helped me improve my organic chemistry (nomenclature) greatly. thanks a million for such a helpful site because most of the sites have tons of info whereas ur site has tests as well which are key to success. I would like to make a suggestion...could u make ur site a bit more organised because sometimes I work out the questions and then I can't find them again since all ur tests are random...so please make available the answers to all ur tests separately...if u could do that I'd be very grateful...and what's more ur site be da best ever and...it still is!! Regards, Maleeha (the navigation is slowly getting better, I hope?)

I am a biochemist, and I was searching the net for some information and came across your site, Doc I feel that it is a very informative site for young up coming chemists, keep up the good work. Craig

Hi there, I'm an ex Head of Chemistry from Ripley, Derbyshire with some 25 years teaching experience. I'm now in a place called Takaka in Golden Bay at the top of the south island in NZ with my family teaching.. you guessed it...chemistry in our small school. I'd just like to say a big thank you to a fantastic on line resource and a source of inspiration. Like you I still love teaching and our attempt at a lifestyle change has been a real adventure. I can let you know about the NZ system of achievement standards if you wish. In the meantime carry on the good work and once again a great big thank you. Paul

Thank you very much for this site it has been a great help over the past 2 years. Yours, Laura

I am trying to develop my own chemistry website for our school but I do not have many ideas at the mo! Would you mind if to start with most of the pages had links to your site. It means that my pupils can access your excellent content easier. Samantha, teacher (no problem!)

Dear Doc Brown A most excellent site! I have been using it for well over a year now, having stumbled across it via "Google" one day. It is by far the best online resource for GCSE chemistry and consequently I strongly advise my students to make use of it. I have even informed them to use it for homework, ahem.. I have taken the liberty of building a link to your site from my own. I hope this is ok! Best Regards, Bryn

Hi, we were doing tests on the site as part of our revision in class, we have the head of science for inorganic and he loves your site. I must admit it is very useful. all the information is there in front saves us wasting time trying to find. Some of the revision books are useful not all the information
is as accurate or as easy explained as on the site. Must have taken a long time to make all the tests with the programming and then publishing it on the web. I know what a pain html can be.
Thanks for replying so quick and updating everything. we have been on study leave so this is the first time I have had chance to check my emails. The exams went well yesterday, chem for life was must easier than the chem for natural resources, although I should imagine I have done pretty well. anyway, back to revising for philosophy. Ashley, Salters student

Thanks. And by the way, your website is REALLY cool. It has helped a lot. Dan

I have found your website very helpful with my studying for my Gcse's examinations so thank you for all your help. Although your website is fantastic I have found a piece of incorrect information that I would like to bring to your attention. In one of your Earth materials multiple choice higher tier tests there was a incorrect answer. The question was number 7. It is which three numbers a, b and c are required to balance the equation a Na (s) + b Cl2 (g) = c NaCl (g)? [13] answer a which is the same as answer b was 212 which is correct was marked as incorrect whereas the same answer in b was marked as correct. they are both correct but only one of the answers was written as correct. I'm sorry but I thought I would bring this to your attention. it is only a small mistake among such wonderful work. yours faithfully Alexandra (no need to apologise, thanks, corrected and uploaded in 10 minutes flat!)

Hey Doc Brown! ur website is great! there is no way I would have been able 2 pass my chemistry degree without u! thank u for all your help. how can I repay you?! I am now a midwife and chemistry is very important 2 me. Can I repay u by delivering ur babies! Thanks Again, Dr. Abholgefilius ( a likely story!, GCSE in mid-wifery!)

Hi, Thanx for the brilliant website you have. I am so grateful for your hard work. Is it possible for you to tell me of any biology and physics websites as good as these to revise for the year 10 GCSE modular exam 2 and 9? thanks Danya

What a fantastic site! I am currently in year 13 and studying Salters chemistry in a school in south Wales! Without your site revision would have been a nightmare, picking out all the important bits! You have saved me hours of work and you need to be applauded!!! There really should be a reference to your site in the storylines/chemical Ideas! Thank you so much! Vicki x

To whom this may concern I think your website is the best for any help anyone could need for chemistry I like the new idea of the exam bashing thoughts. There is one thing I think you should add in your website to make it complete is past exam question which will make it a lot easy to revise. thanking you in advance your Sareena (can't help on past papers, breach of copyright law I'm afraid!)

As I prepare my lessons in advance, the site is good it has enough visual and interactive stuff for the weaker students and also the full GCSE Chem syllabus for the more 'academic' chemist, thanks!!!!! teacher Ruth

Dear Doc Brown, I have been using your site for a few months now, and have finally got
round to emailing you to say how absolutely fantastic it is. I am actually a post-doc in molecular biology and biochemistry at university, but I have started doing some private tuition in my spare time, to both a GCSE and A Level chemistry student so your site is very useful to me. (More A Level stuff would be greatly appreciated when you get time !!!!!) I am also thinking about going into teaching full-time, as I am getting to that too old-too and expensive-too specialised time in my career (and at only 32yo) which means getting the next contract is going to be awfully difficult (expiry October). Any advice would be appreciated ! I am particularly interest in colleges of FE teaching A level HND etc. chemistry/applied science but having no luck so far. Once again, many thanks and keep up the good work. David, teacher (good luck, but you must do a PGCE course asap)

Hi thanks a lot for the information. Today we had to do our presentation and the teacher loved it. I would like to thank you once again for your help. It turned out to be great and we even did the experiment you had told me about. Thanks Charlotte (Malta) 

Hi Doc B, sorry for replying this late.....my email hasn't been working for a couple of days....anyway thanks for all your help...it was much appreciated.... we've all completed the titrations now (thank god!!!) and our teacher did come back and she also said that we wont get penalised for having it the other way around...as long as we explain each step. Well anyway thanks for the help. Oh by the way your site is still ace for help on chem....u dun a gr8 job! Shaima

Your site was more helpful than any other one on Google. Roy (Doing GCSE science in England)

Hi, I am a regular visitor to your web site. Thanks for putting up good contents and useful notes
for teachers. I wondered if you could kindly forward me Triple Science Physics Syllabus for GCSE. Many Thanks Renu Joshi ( no time for the physics I'm afraid!)

Hi your website is really cool. At school we use it during our chemistry lessons. Thanks for making chemistry seem fun and enjoyable. C. Bajada

Just like to say great job on the website, you must of put a lot of time on it. Richard

Thank for your website. I teach children with difficult backgrounds who do not have access to many books, or much colour in their lives. Your website has helped me inspire them to want to understand and pass their GCSE. Teresa

Dear Doc Brown, Your chemistry modules have been a life saver. Schools these days don't employ genuine chemistry teachers and can't afford the books. My daughter is using your site to revise for her science GCSEs and it's proving invaluable. I appreciate all the hard work you've obviously put into it. Regards, a grateful dad

Dear Doc brown! I just wanted to congratulate you on your wonderful web site! I am absolutely inspired by the work you have done! I have just come back to teaching science after a few years out and was trawling the net for some good ideas and support and found your site! I have found lots of helpful ideas already! MANY MANY THANKS. I think you are "retired" but hope you are able to continue with some of your wonderful work! Patricia ( Brussels)

Just writing to thank you very much for creating this web page, it has helped me a lot in my revision!  I now feel a lot more confident and happy about taking my exams this month. Lois

I am a Chemistry Teacher at Qatar, and have recommended your fantastic site for Chemistry revision to my year 11 class- they love solving the crossword puzzles! Thank you! Dr Shaikh

hi there....... WOW.. this site is awesome.......... too good.. this is a complete revision.. plan... nothings missing.. just wanted to ask u that ... if u could gimme some studying tips.. I'm in KS4 O levels GCSE can u tell me some planned timetable.. I can stick to.....  a little bit weak in chem.. can u tell me how do I gain my interest in it? Usman

Doc, Thank you for creating such a wonderful web site!  I realize it is intended for students and teachers, but it has been an invaluable resource to me.  It is put together well, and I commend you for the great wealth of information that is available. I would like to ask you about some chemical reactions ..... Lynn (Nasa!)

Dear DOC I've just discovered your website and I am really blown away by what you have done. As teacher of 11-16 year olds in Surrey I am very aware of how much time and effort has gone into this. I am planning on recommending your website to my students this year. I hope it and you continue to flourish. Good luck in your 'retirement' Regards, Chris (retirement is going just great!)

I am just writing to say that I have been looking for a good modular GCSE science revision site for so long, and then I finally found yours and it is fantastic, really helpful. I liked the multi-choice tests as you can just click repeat test and it brings up a different set of questions so you can really find out what you are weak on and cover everything. I also enjoyed the poetry part as a bit of light relief Thank you so much again, Louise

Fantastic website! I teach science at an Enfield school. I found your website very informative and the pupils in several of my classes thoroughly enjoyed the internet based lesson using your website to consolidate learning. Probably the best educational website available on the internet. You have restored my faith in internet learning. Samantha

You will definitely be remembered for putting together such a comprehensive site! Thank you so much again, Louise (via searching for much loved ex-teacher Kathryn Williams)
