This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) tools in enhancing students’ understanding of the blood circulatory system. Employing a proper experimental design, the researcher randomly selected a sample of 40 Grade 7 students from Central Model School, Ratti Gun Road, Lahore. The participants were divided into control and experimental groups, and both pre-tests and post-tests were administered to assess learning outcomes. Additionally, a structured questionnaire was used to collect students’ feedback regarding the learning experience. The findings revealed a statistically significant difference in performance between the experimental and control groups, indicating that students exposed to VR-based instruction demonstrated a deeper understanding of the topic compared to those taught through traditional methods. The study recommends further exploration of VR applications in science education using a broader range of technological tools and larger sample sizes.
