My Project

Students will use the virtual reality goggles to view and learn about the patterns of our Earth and sky, as well as the patterns that can be found throughout our solar system. Patterns such as day and night, phases of the moon, and orbit/rotation will be addressed.

These innovative virtual reality goggles are very high interest for my students, and they will make learning a by-product of the fun and excitement of interacting with the goggles and Mr. Bill Nye, the Science Guy, who hosts the virtual reality experience for the students.
