Abstract

This research evaluates the impact of virtual reality (VR) technologies on student engagement and learning in chemistry lab settings. By conducting experiments with VR simulations in contrast to traditional labs, we demonstrate an increase in concept retention and student motivation. The study provides a comprehensive review of current VR applications and their effectiveness in teaching complex chemical reactions and procedures, ultimately proposing VR as a supplementary tool in modern chemistry education.
