Tap into the power of why!
Gizmos injects experimentation and inquiry into every experience. With the power to ask questions, see results, and draw conclusions, students learn not only the what of a topic, but also the why.
Explore concepts
Interactive design allows for extensive manipulation of variables and “what-if” experimentation.
Analyze data
Visualizations and graphing tools help capture and compare results from experiments.
Go deeper
In-depth, inquiry-based activities create more moments to explore, discover, and apply new concepts.
Like to play? So do we!
Play, explore and experience the “ah-ha!” moment for yourself with some of our favorite Gizmos.

Flood and Storm-Proof Homes
Build a home to survive a flood or a hurricane and protect the people inside. Choose materials and a design for the foundation, frame, walls, and roof of the house. Add "extras" such as sand bags, storm shutters, and roof clips. Test your house in a flood or storm and see how well your design worked.

Fraction Artist 2 (Area Models of Fractions)
Extend understanding of fractions by making modern paintings in the style of Piet Mondrian. Create and analyze paintings with different-sized sections. Compare the sizes of unit fractions. Find creative ways to color one-half of a painting. This can be a nice introduction to adding fractions with unlike denominators.

Mouse Genetics (Two Traits)
Breed "pure" mice with known genotypes that exhibit specific fur and eye colors, and learn how traits are passed on via dominant and recessive genes. Mice can be stored in cages for future breeding, and the statistics of fur and eye color are reported every time a pair of mice breed. Punnett squares can be used to predict results.
