Astronomy Education Integrates Virtual Reality — Mars Exploration
Preview AbstractMars is the planet most similar to Earth in the universe. In recent years, several NASA exploration rovers, such as Curiosity and Insight Lander, have sent a considerable amount of information, gradually solving the mystery of Mars. Scientists are planning to turn Mars into an “Earth 2.0”. To that end, a virtual Mars mission was designed and used in science education.
This design applies the idea of STEM science education and follows the 6E process. Plants are seeded on Mars virtually. Through soil testing, plant selection, and observation of plant interactions during photosynthesis and their influence on the changes in air oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, the students are encouraged to learn about chemistry, soil science, and botany.
Through this virtual Mars mission, learners can reflect on the evolution of Earth and cherish its limited resources.
