Organic chemical summary sheet
The document below is perhaps one of the most useful summaries for students. This chart summarizes the majority of this half of the unit, and can be edited to make the boxes larger. In doing so you can have the students fill out empty boxes

An introductory video for ethers. Very useful for getting the students' attention as well as showing how ethers tend to boil at a much lower temperature than water.
The below video shows uses for one carboxylic acid in real life, and has some useful tips for students if they're having one of the issues used in the video.
The below video shows uses and real life applications of amides. Once again useful for linking the lesson to students' lives and bringing the information learned into context.
The video below is a good explanation of polymers as well as the common ones, uses, and formation of them.
A quick little introduction to get the students' attention, showing what organic chemicals can do, this also could serve as a lead in to the organic chemical research project.
The video below is the other crash course chemistry video, which quickly covers all the organic chemicals covered in this half, as well as discusses functional groups. While not a substitute for the entire unit, it is a useful video if students want to watch to review the chemicals.
