What is MEL VR Science Simulations?
Chemistry is made difficult by the need to connect the macro and micro worlds in an overall concept and understand how the two are linked. MEL Chemistry VR makes this connection visual. It makes difficult concepts intuitive and interactive to build solid knowledge and long-term memory.
We also provide interactive maker spaces where students can conduct experiments on atoms and molecules that are otherwise impossible, such as constructing your own atom or building your own molecule.
MEL Chemistry is a micro chemistry kit that come with all necessary chemicals, components, and instructions to complete successful experiments. Our aim is to make science education easy, engaging, and effective.
Recommended Usage
We recommend 1-2 VR Lessons per week, so around 15 minutes
