The aim of this case study is to investigate any benefits of introducing virtual reality software in science projects that can support the actual goal of science teaching. The project takes place during science classes in a primary school in Greece. After examining whether (a) virtual reality helps achieving the teaching goals set, (b) has positive responses by the learners, (c) is supported by the school context and (d) is convenient cost-wise, it was concluded that virtual reality can have benefits when implemented. However, there are issues to be considered in what concerns responses, the school context and cost.
