Minibeasts in VR

We are getting up close with some fascinating garden invertebrates in this science VR school workshop.

Visit the garden as never before. Meet some incredible beetles and insects and view the world from their perspective. Absorb fascinating facts as you are immersed in a 3D exploration of minibeast life.

The workshop includes plenty of curriculum points from the 'Living Things & Their Habitats' and 'Animals' objectives such as classification, camouflage and defence mechanisms, diet and habitats, life cycles and adaptation. Shrink to the viewpoint of a ladybird, enter a hive of busy honeybees and witness a caterpillar undergoing metamorphosis to a beautiful butterfly.

This is VR on another level, and the best part? No welfare, safety or phobia issues with real animals being brought to school!  VR can get up close with exotic and dangerous creatures, and even X ray their physiology, for deeper understanding of the scientific concepts.
