This paper discusses the implementation of Interactive Virtual Learning (VL) among elementary school teachers in Malaysia. The qualitative method of unstructured interviews and observation was chosen as the way for gathering information to discover the existing challenge that teachers confront in excelling in science, as well as the necessity for any new instructional tactics. Two primary school science teachers from two different schools were selected to participate in this interview. The results of this preliminary investigation confirm that modern science teachers confront challenges in their classrooms. The findings suggest a scarcity of high-quality learning materials on which they may rely. Furthermore, a lack of time for revision and exploration of each topic is a problem that must be addressed to improve student performance in science. Finally, the integration of VL with various learning strategies must be designed and developed to facilitate and boost students' learning abilities in the topic of science.
