Gizmos

“There are many Gizmos that align with state standards such as mitosis, meiosis, DNA, and photosynthesis.”

“These virtual tools offer very rich, engaging, and high quality case studies for high school science that closely align with curriculum expectations. I have found them to be an incredibly valuable resource. Student engagement and feedback has always been positive. I have not been able to find any digital resources that can compare to the educational quality of Gizmos (especially the health-focused case studies). These resources are especially useful when the number of lab rooms are so limited and for students who require visual models to express abstract concepts.”

“These [Gizmos] helped think about things that I hadn't thought of. Has fully changed the engagement during science!”

“They (students) were so much more interested in Gizmos than they would have been in my standing there lecturing.”

Gizmos

“They are aligned with our state standards. I teach all science courses at my school (6-12) and have been able to find Gizmos that align with all courses.”

Gizmos

“They are good for experiments that we cannot do in-person because of danger or lack of supplies or online learning. Some of them are fun and game-like.”

Gizmos

“They enable the students to conceptualize microscopic things in biology that they otherwise wouldn't be able to.”

Gizmos

“They [PD] have helped in learning how we can implement them in the classroom with items such as presets, exploration, and editing student handouts.”

Gizmos

“They [PD] showed me that it is easier to implement the Gizmos and that it does not have to be all or nothing.”

Gizmos

“They [students] learned that science is fun and like a game, so they had no hesitation when it came to following the scientific method. They loved doing the online experiments and were so curious, they wanted to do it at home.”
