Shrink down to cell-size with the Human Body VR Journey. Pupils explore internal organs up close using VR headsets and then rebuild the human anatomy using life-sized models. This paired-technique approach enhances understanding of the circulatory, digestive and respiratory systems.
Ideal for STEM days and upper Key Stage 2, it builds both scientific curiosity and teamwork skills.
Pupils dive into virtual oceans without leaving the classroom. The Under the Sea VR Journey offers fully immersive exploration of marine ecosystems, where children encounter rays, whales and reefs in vivid 360-degree vision.
Themes include:
– Adaptation and biodiversity
– Climate and environmental discussion
– Ocean conservation
A powerful addition to any topics on habitat, weather or sustainability.
