Step into an immersive VR science lab designed to teach essential laboratory skills and concepts. This collection of interactive protocols offers learners the opportunity to engage with common cell culture solutions and chemicals in a tactile, visual environment. Moreover, students can experiment with how these substances are combined and measured—building confidence through exploration.
The activities support the understanding of key chemistry fundamentals such as solution preparation and concentration. Additionally, the materials also reinforce biological principles such as how specific nutritional components are combined to sustain cellular life.
Along the way, learners also gain practical familiarity with standard laboratory equipment, including weighing scales and various pipette types. Experiencing performing protocols in a VR science lab not only prepares students for practical work but showcases bioscience as a career.
Furthermore, this is the ideal package for reinforcing curriculum content in biology, chemistry and applied sciences.
