Abstract
3D animation is a form of educational media that aids in assisting viewers in better understanding concepts. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether 3D animated video content can help school children to recollect the subject better. 3D animation of the lungs(3DLungs) was created and was given to school children in the age group of 15 to 16 who are in the 11th standard where they have a subject on the respiratory system. The survey approach is employed, and we chose a control group of 40 numbers who will learn the subject through the conventional method and another set of 42 students (experimental group students) who will learn it with the animation. A questionnaire is provided to students after the subject was taken in the class using the chalk & board method. The same set of questionnaires was given to the students who attended the session using 3D Animation. Of the 82 samples, 80 were taken for analysis, and the remaining two were outliers. The results showed that students who learned with the help of 3D were able to recollect the parts of the lungs better, and they found it more interesting to attend the 3D class when taught through animation than seeing the still image/photo given in the book and also they were able to score more marks when compared to the control group. The basic concepts were understandable by both the control and experimental group whereas 3d animation helps more in recollection. The problem students faced in remembering organs with 2 lobes like lungs, and kidney is that is the left and right identification. The images in the book and even the 3D animation show the left side of the lungs towards our right-hand side, and the right side of the image will be towards our left-hand side which makes the students confused to recollect the numbers in the lobes. Future studies have to be done to sort this out
