This innovative teacher resource provides a unique and engaging way for students to explore the fascinating world of plant cells and their key structures.
With Virtual Plant Cell, students can dive into a virtual world where they can interact with and learn about the various organelles and structures found within a plant cell. The fully interactive experience is designed to run as a partnered or whole-of-class experience using the latest Oculus Rift VR technology. This allows students to immerse themselves in a virtual environment and experience a deeper level of engagement with the content, leading to a higher degree of comprehension and retention.
In addition to providing a fun and interactive learning experience, Virtual Plant Cell also aligns with the science curriculum for students in grades 5-12, making it an ideal teacher resource for science classrooms. It provides an opportunity for students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as encouraging collaboration and teamwork.
The Virtual Plant Cell program is created by the ARC Centre of Excellence in Plant Energy Biology, a leading research institution in the field of plant science. With its cutting-edge VR technology, this teacher resource offers a one-of-a-kind educational experience that will captivate students and provide them with a deeper understanding of the intricate world of plant cells.
