Abstract

In recent years, the integration of virtual reality (VR) technology into educational environments has gained significant attention, particularly within natural science courses. This paper explores the implementation of VR interactive experiments as a means to enhance inquiry-based learning and foster critical thinking skills among students. By immersing students in realistic and interactive scientific scenarios, VR provides a dynamic platform for exploring complex concepts and phenomena that are often challenging to demonstrate in traditional classroom settings. The study underscores the pedagogical benefits of VR, particularly its role in fostering critical thinking skills, increasing student engagement, and improving understanding Of abstract concepts. Additionally, it discusses practical considerations for incorporating VR into natural science curricula and textbooks, addressing potential challenges such as cost, accessibility and teacher training. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and case studies, this paper aims to provide educators with insights and strategies for effectively integrating VR technology to create an enriched and interactive learning experience in natural science education.
