Virtual Reality-based logic programming environment: Infusing computing into science learning

• In Event: Design issues in virtual environments

Short Description

This paper presents a virtual reality-based logic-programming environment to infuse computing into science learning. We developed two modules: one for chemistry and the other for physics. They are implemented in an elective course for 7th graders. Through clinical interviews, videotaped class observations, exit interviews and our own experiences with the class, the designed environment and proposed logic programming approach can improve students’ learning of computing and science simultaneously.
