Virtual Reality Farm Tour

This unit is for Stage 3 students investigating agricultural production, specifically the egg production process.

The main challenge is a fun treasure hunt with an accompanying downloadable activity sheet. This activity uses the Virtual Reality Farm Tour as its basis. Students access the online VR resources and use the information in these resources to complete the activity sheet.

There are also several supporting activities and an extension task. The activities may be suitable for older or younger groups, depending on their capabilities and interests.

Students will consider different egg production methods, explore the responsibilities and challenges for egg farmers and investigate technologies used in the Australian egg industry.
