Teach Photosynthesis to Young Students Using Augmented Reality

With the emergence of technological innovations such as virtual reality and augmented reality, there is a growing need to iterate and update traditional education methods, such as text and images for a more effective learning experience. In this paper we explore the educational potential of using mobile application combined with Augmented Reality (AR) technology to simulate the process of photosynthesis and compare it with traditional text-based teaching methods. As opposed to conventional teaching methods, AR applications allow users to further observe the process and details of photosynthesis by interacting with plant models and animations. This study collects user performance data using the application's assessment features to assess the use of AR technology in educational settings, with a focus on its impact on learner engagement and utility in clarifying biological concepts.
