Salmon Transportation (Hatchery to Sea) (FarmVR)

In this immersive educational experience, Doug Paveley from Tassal explains how when salmon reach smolt they are ready to be transported to the sea circles, being counted, loaded in to trucks and moved by truck to their new sea pen.

This VR experience is part of a series of VR education experiences around farming salmon. This is ‘immersive education’ and your students can experience what it is like to visit a salmon farm without leaving the classroom. These VR experiences are part of two Grade 5/6 resources based on the curriculum areas of science and technologies. The two resources you can also access here to find out more about farming salmon: Salmon Science – Growing a Salmon Leaper & Jeepers Creepers Salmon Leapers
The best way for your students to ‘experience’ this is to watch using FarmVR in 360 vision. To do this:
Step 1 – Install the FarmVR App on your mobile device https://www.farmvr.com.au/download/
Step 2 – Navigate to Aquaculture / Salmon / Dissection
**VR goggles required
Alternatively, for note taking students can also watch VR using an iPad.
