“I strongly feel that Gizmos has been instrumental in helping our science department and school achieve their goals this year. Specifically, we've observed a significant increase in student mastery of the TEKS covered within the Gizmos activities.”
- Science Dept Chairperson, Iowa Colony High School
“I teach two different types of classes. Some of my classes are a normal traditional class and some are a program that we call "Envision." This is a program where students are able to move at their own pace and they come to me when they need help. Over the last year, I noticed my Envision students always do better on Atlas, the state Biology test. I gathered them all together and asked them why they think they do better. Almost all of them said the same thing- Gizmos and data nuggets. I just wanted you to know that your program does make a difference! Thank you!”
