By immersing students in interactive 3D environments, VR brings abstract and complex concepts to life in ways that traditional methods often cannot.\r\n\r\nIn algebra, VR allows students to visualize equations, graphs, and functions in three-dimensional space. They can manipulate variables and instantly see how changes affect a graph, which strengthens conceptual understanding and supports students who may struggle with symbolic representation alone. This hands-on, immersive experience helps students make real-world connections to algebraic thinking.\r\n\r\nIn geometry, VR is especially impactful. Students can walk through geometric shapes, explore angles and planes, and physically interact with 3D models. This spatial interaction deepens understanding of concepts like congruency, similarity, symmetry, and volume. Students grasp how geometric principles apply in architecture, engineering, and design, making learning more relevant and engaging.\r\n\r\nFor anatomy, VR headsets provide students with an inside look at the human body. They can examine organs, systems, and tissues in great detail, rotate structures, and even simulate dissections—all without the need for physical specimens. This not only enhances comprehension but also builds empathy and curiosity, particularly for students interested in health sciences.","fullyFundedDate":1733501967057,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-stem-to-life-with-virtual-reali/8981398/","projectTitle":"Bringing STEM to Life with Virtual Reality!","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Nicole (Reese) Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9851768_orig.jpg?crop=432,432,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733150538709","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9851768"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42842","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1359,"numTeachers":71,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":72,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":47.5,"schoolId":42842,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Riverdale High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Riverdale High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/clayton-county-public-schools/riverdale-high-school/42842"}
