The Human Body. The idea is to immerse the children the learning which will hook their interest in how various parts of the body functioned and worked.
The human body VR workshop will make sure the children understood exactly why certain parts of the body were designed in such a way and how the shape, size and structure of different aspects of the human body contributed to a healthy human being.
Human Body VR Lesson
During the session, the children are given the opportunity to take a 360-degree virtual tour of the human body using the VR headsets. Providing a detailed view of body parts for the pupils to interrogate and ask questions about. Following the experience, children will down as many body parts, facts, questions and key words that they could, based on what they had experienced. For example, the children can look at how the skull is shaped and structured to provide protection to the brain. Or the children can discover more about the skeleton and how it provides protection to the vital organs within the torso. The session can be tailored to any part or parts of this topic, tailored to each age group.
VR LEARNING
This VR experience generates questioning, which allowed the teacher to tailor future lessons to meet the children’s needs. It exposes students to language that they might not have experienced normally and gives the children the chance to explore the human body in a safe and purposeful way. A Follow up to this lesson, could be exploring the heart in more detail using the VR headsets, looked inside a beating heart and explored its job within the body. This was the perfect starting point for the heart dissection that took place the lesson afterwards, as children already had an understanding of the heart’s role, and what they should expect to see inside it.
