Students are encouraged to explore and interact with everything from single cells to complex organisms and their environments. 3D models allow pupils and teachers to explore the world around them in a virtual environment. Explore complete eco-systems and interact with all the animals within that environment. View the life cycles and internal organs of animals and see how they fit into their environment and the local food chain. This exploration encourages students to develop and evaluate explanations of natural phenomena, encouraging critical and creative thought.

This unique, custom-tailored learning experience has been developed closely with students and teachers to cover all areas of biology as set out by the National Curriculum. Examine plant and animal cells, dissect specimens from frogs to snails, examine a human kidney or complete vascular system all in stunning detail and from all angles. This allows students to understand complex issues like these by learning through observation and investigation rather than by instruction.

This is a hands-on learning tool that encourages engagement, participation, and collaboration among students as they share their discoveries and developments to gain a common understanding of the subject being taught. Students are able to experiment, discuss and develop ideas using real-life examples as a basis for finding out about science.

CaptureLang-Cropped2[1]

  • Arabic
  • Chinese
  • English
  • Russian
  • Spanish
  • Welsh

The multilingual interactivity of the software allows the user to change the featured language with the simple click of a button.

Gaia 3D supports the input of audio files that teach students to pronounce the objects on screen in the desired language. It also allows the teacher to change the words that appear next to the object so students are able to learn by visual and verbal methods.

These features have been designed as simple files in a directory, allowing the teacher to replace the original file with their own recordings in the appropriate language. This will allow the whole area to be completely customized by the teacher. Thus, if we provide a French environment, a German teacher would easily be able to convert the whole exercise to the desired language.
