Abstract :
Education builds culture of human for many years. The method of education has been developed from oral communication and textbook to broadcasting and e-learning. According to development, children have become to be free for place, time and teacher who gives some advice. On the other hand, the opportunities that children contact with real things and experience is getting decrease. Generally speaking, experience is important for the education such as physical education, art and also science. In addition, it is usually difficult to have a good environment for experience at a self learning situation and e-learning systems. In this paper, we describe a chemical laboratory experience system using VR technology for primary school students, as a VR-learning system. In addition, we confirm the usefulness through experiments that several primary school students use this system.
