There is the School of Chemistry at Bangor University, so I think their library may be of some help to you. Most of the books will be too advanced for you, but some will be more suitable. I am sure some of the 1st year books will be okay for a bright student at the AS level.

 

Good luck.

Thanks a lot. I will try checking that out.

Thanks all for the advice. Yes I think books are the way to go.. I am from North Wales, Bangor and there aren't many good sources around here.. That's why I came here to ask

Khan academy is always a good place to start. MIT also has a nice series of free lectures, though this may be more advanced than you're looking for.

Thanks a lot. I have viewed a Khan Academy video on viruses (a subject I'm already familiar on) and it basically packed all that I know from hours of reading into 20~ minutes! Very good source! I will be sure to check out more of their videos. I haven't watched a MIT lecture yet but I will try one and see how advanced it is later on.

Righteo- Despite having a bunch of relatives in england I still have no grasp on how exactly the GCSE works- but I'm led to believe it's somewhat similar to the school certificate in aust. *Just saying that because I managed to confuse myself yet again*.. haha

 

Anyway- so what I used to do was spend my free time surfing wikipedia (and I know it's not a creditable reference- but I find it's great for just overveiwing general trends, concepts and satisfying curiosity) until I found things that interested me, and then I'ld go back and click on the interesting links and eventually I learned what I wanted to learn more about (for me it was organic chem). Then once I did that I used text books, google and whatever other resouces I had available to me to learn more.

 

The only downside is that it makes school even easier! Haha, I used to make my friend draw crazy organic molecules so I could work out the systematic name to pass the time.

That's what I've been doing up to this point - just reading wikipedia and once I find something I like I will research it a bit more.. Up to this point it has worked great, but I was just really looking for some more sources to maybe make things a bit easier. Thanks a lot for your suggestion none-the-less.

Hi and thanks for reading my thread. I'm a 14 year old student in Wales, UK. I am currently doing my GCSEs and am interested in maths, chemistry and physics. I'm really looking to expand my knowledge on the subjects as I find school pretty easy and boring. I was really hoping someone would have some good sources they could suggest to me. Thanks alot!
