Sunflower for science is an electronic package of interactive animations to support Key Stage 3 and 4 biology, chemistry and physics. You can run the program from the CD-ROM or copy the files to your hard drive without having to install any new software. The resource can be easily networked or installed on individual terminals for student use. The software comes cross-referenced to the 2006 GCSE specifications and is accompanied by a comprehensive guide, which has screen-shots to help teachers get going.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
