What the VR science simulations cover
MEL VR Science Simulations is a set of chemistry and physics simulations, lessons and labs that runs in virtual reality with VR glasses. The developer describes it as a series that is still growing, and says it is made to fit the school curriculum.
It is aimed at students and teachers working through chemistry and physics topics in school. The content centres on chemical elements, atoms and molecules, and the way matter behaves at very small scales.
Zooming down to atoms and molecules
The main idea is to shrink down to the molecular and atomic level. You start with a familiar object such as a pencil or a balloon, zoom in on it, and fly between the molecules and atoms that make it up.
The listing presents this as a way to see the structure of ordinary things rather than read about it in a textbook.
Comparing solids and gases in a virtual lab
Inside the MEL Virtual Laboratory, the app lets you look at different types of matter and compare solids with gaseous substances at a molecular level. You can watch how atoms and molecules interact in each.
The developer names this as the place where the lab work happens, so the comparison between states of matter is the core of the lab experience.
Seeing chemical compounds and reactions up close
The simulations show chemical compounds and physical reactions taking place inside everyday objects. The listing frames this as a way to understand the concepts behind the formulas, rather than memorising them from a textbook.
Together, the zooming, flying and lab sections are meant to be used in sequence, moving from the object you can see to the atoms and reactions that make it behave the way it does.
