Augmented Reality (AR) meets the classroom!
Moon phases are notoriously difficult to teach. Students struggle to visualize from different perspectives and current models involve digging away at Oreos or shining torches around heads. Students develop misconceptions as a result.
AR opens the door for learning experiences that were not previously possible to bring into the classroom. In the Moon Phases AR scenes, students are faced with opportunities of problem-based learning and inquiry. Leading questions require students to discover the answers through observation in AR. Transparent guides help students to view each phase from all perspectives. In the Outdoor Scale View, students address concepts of scale through observation of size and distance in a large open space.
The app comes equipped with free teacher resources on our website https://ARbyTeachers.com for preparation-free implementation into the classroom.
It is not only teachers that we hope will enjoy our app, but anyone wanting to learn or check their moon phases understanding.
