Gizmos

“During virtual learning, Gizmos allows for students to continue to engage in lab work and model the work real scientists do in the field.”

“For 12 years, Gizmos have been vital to teaching my science 7 students the most difficult concepts, from photosynthesis and osmosis to continental drift and forces. When I moved to teaching grade 4, I started using Gizmos not only for science but also for math, to teach similar concepts in math that require difficult spatial thinking that many students require hands-on materials. The fact that Gizmos allow for further exploration independently of the teaching supports makes these one of the best differentiation tools for teachers!”

“Gizmo effectively supports alignment with several of our educational standards. I have successfully integrated it into our electricity and magnets units and plan to utilize it for the upcoming unit on moon phases.”

“Gizmo has allowed my students the opportunity to experiment using a virtual platform when hands on materials are not available. Students have been able to gain a deeper understanding of scientific concepts when reading and watching videos just can't deliver.”

“Gizmos are a game changer. They have helped to increase student interest in material and material retention.”

“Gizmos are a good visual way to teach topics that may be harder to visualize.”

Gizmos

“Gizmos bring topics that students are learning to life. Students are able to learn at their own pace and have their individual 'aha' moments as they progress through the content. Having the Gizmo is a more controlled way of conducting a lab and it helps students engage in the unit and apply their learning.”

Gizmos

“Gizmos engage my students’ interest and get them away from “right or wrong”-type thinking. They are more willing to experiment and explore, and to rebound from a failed attempt to achieve a result, in Gizmos than on paper or working aloud.”

Gizmos

“Gizmos give the students another platform to explore, and the learning is directed by them. They get to experiment with the virtual lab by moving things around and being able to see what happens. This is something that can only be accomplished by doing a virtual simulation, and it has been very useful and, in my opinion, successful for student learning.”

Gizmos

“Gizmos gives students a chance to use technology to investigate and model science concepts that can be difficult to replicate in a classroom setting. It helps students visualize processes that can be hard to do otherwise.”
