Understanding what makes up the things that surround us every day can be more complex than it appears. Getting hands-on with materials is key, but VR provides you with another way to place this learning in context. Explore how materials can be used, how they change, and the different states of matter, from solids to liquids and gases.
Take a look at the practical applications of materials on a construction site or immerse yourself in the water cycle to see how evaporation and condensation power life on Earth.
