Parents and teachers looking to expand student lessons might consider using virtual reality (VR) experiences to turn education into play. With much learning now happening at home, these experiences can also be used to expand the way children are learning.

Big brands from Discovery to the BBC have added VR to their line-up, and while some require moderately to expensive VR headsets, others can be played on more affordable Google Cardboard headsets.

Here are seven apps, some even free, that can transport students beyond the limits of a field trip.

With this $4.99 experience, people are invited to put together a Tyrannosaurus rex from fossil bones, and then go back millions of years to when the dinosaur actually lived. There's a game to play, and then students are actually give a tour by Mark Norell, a curator at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City (which helped to develop the experience) about the T.Rex to learn what happens when it loses a tooth or if it could sit on its nest. The T.Rex Skeleton Crew experience is available on Viveport, and works on Vive, Vive Cosmos, Vive Pro and Vive Cosmos Elite.

Art Plunge Preview, free inside the Oculus store, puts viewers inside a virtual gallery with both Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Johannes Vermeer's Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window. You get to feel like you're currently inside the paintings - the Mona Lisa has an effect where it looks like she's even breathing and moving her hands. And if you want to expand to additional paintings, including Starry Night, The Birth of Venus and The Creation of Adam, you can upgrade to the main Art Plunge experience for just $1.99. You can play this on an Oculus Go, as well as Gear VR, if you already own one.

Back in the Oculus Store, take the time to check out the Anne Frank House VR experience, which is free and works with Oculus Go and Gear VR. Virtually walk through the home that hid Anne Frank, including the space where she and her family lived. The experience won two Halo Awards in 2018, a Bronze for cinematic VR and a Gold best non-fiction.
Google Expeditions
Google Expeditions is a free experience designed for both Android and iOS apps - and there are hundreds of options here, with many added in the last few weeks. These experiences are virtual field trips that uses a Google Cardboard viewer and take people all over the world from England's forests to Glaciers to Angkor Wat to Argentina. Some can be previewed, like these beautiful Desert Botanical Gardens.
MEL Chemistry VR Lessons

This experience includes 80 virtual reality lessons plus test as well. Lessons are three to seven minutes long, and cover subjects from atomic mass to ionic bonds. You can get five free lessons to try just for signing up for the MEL Chemistry VR Lessons, and the experience will work on Google Daydream, Oculus Go, Gear VR and any Google Cardboard VR headset that has a button.
Apollo 11 VR
The Discovery VR app makes use of the network's extensive documentary content. The app works on nearly every single VR platform: Google Daydream, Samsung Gear VR, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard viewers using both iOS and Android devices. Did we mention it's free? Once installed, you, your child or your students can peek at elephants in South Africa, or glimpse Whale Sharks off the coast of Mexico. Some of the experiences are produced in partnership with groups including the World Wide Fund for Nature.

The Apollo 11 VR app puts viewers in Neil Armstrong's seat during the moon landing of Apollo 11 in 1969, and even take a walk along the Moon's surface. There is archival footage woven into this virtual reality experience and it is designed to work with Oculus Rift, and Oculus Rift S.
