Description

Inquiry-based learning in physics education is an excellent method to reinforce what pupils learn at high school. Virtual reality learning modules help in cases where equipment for real-life demonstration experiments is unavailable to a teacher. One such topic is nuclear physics. We designed our VR learning module with inquiry-based learning in mind. Using this VR learning module pupils are guided to complete series of tasks. By doing so, they learn about absorption of nuclear radiation, about nature of the nuclear radiation carriers and about decay chains.
