Exploring Florida Keys Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) with VR

Dive into Conservation: Exploring Florida Keys MPAs with VR is an engaging high school science activity that immerses students in the marine ecosystems of the Florida Keys using a YouTube VR video. Over 60-90 minutes, students explore marine protected areas (MPAs) like the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, learning about their purpose, history, and regulations through an immersive virtual dive. They complete a worksheet with research tasks using resources like floridakeys.noaa.gov and myfwc.com, analyzing societal impacts and proposing conservation strategies.
