In this paper we present an innovate environment to allow students to learn physics, based on a 3Dv virtual world in which they can experience physical laws through laboratory activities. The environment has been developed in the framework of the project "World-of-Physics: An innovative virtual reality educational environment for school physics education" (founded within the Erasmus + Programme), aimed at assisting students in better studying and learning physics, exploiting new educational technologies. The World of Physics (WoP) solution adopts IBSE pedagogical model in virtual laboratories. The design process of the educational scenarios and some examples are described.

Abstract

In this paper we present an innovate environment to allow students to learn physics, based on a 3Dv virtual world in which they can experience physical laws through laboratory activities. The environment has been developed in the framework of the project "World-of-Physics: An innovative virtual reality educational environment for school physics education" (founded within the Erasmus + Programme), aimed at assisting students in better studying and learning physics, exploiting new educational technologies. The World of Physics (WoP) solution adopts IBSE pedagogical model in virtual laboratories. The design process of the educational scenarios and some examples are described.
