Virtual Chemistry Comes to Syzran Lyceum
The city lyceum in Syzran has received an educational laboratory complex with virtual reality for chemistry lessons.
The equipment was donated by a business, the press service of a major Russian fuel and energy company reported.
Wearing VR headsets, students are transported into a three-dimensional interactive laboratory where they mix reagents, heat substances, and study the structure of molecules and atoms. The complex's software is entirely Russian. Its library contains dozens of tasks — from basic to olympiad-level and Unified State Exam level. School students can safely conduct complex reactions that cannot be reproduced in a real classroom.
Chemistry is difficult to study without practice, but real experiments are not always safe. The new equipment will be a valuable aid for upperclassmen planning to enroll in oil-focused universities. Virtual headsets make formulas more visual and knowledge more concrete.
