“I really love Gizmos as they help students grasp difficult concepts that can’t always be seen. They make abstract ideas come to life.”
— Gizmos Teacher, Foothills School Division, Alberta, Canada
“I have had several students that did not really like math share that they now like math this year! One important topic in 3rd-grade math is multiplication, and Gizmos help students develop a visual understanding of how multiplication works.”
- Teacher, Defiance Elementary School
“I have loved Gizmos for years. Gizmos definitely complement a lesson and they give visuals and interactions that are unmatched.”
- Teacher, DeKalb County School District
“I have seen students make connections between concepts they have practiced in the STEM cases and classwork and projects we have done in class.”
- Teacher, Duval County Public Schools
“I have used the Building DNA gizmo and the Cellular Respiration Gizmo which aligns directly with state and NGSS standards...students were able to visualize how DNA is put together after working through the gizmo. It helped immensely when lecturing and teaching after the introduction.”
- Teacher, Erie High School
“I notice that many of my kids, who are struggling with abstract concepts, find Gizmos helpful.”
- Teacher, Wicomico County School District

- Teacher, Batavia Public School District 101
“I really admire the Gizmos content. The wide range of topics and the virtual labs that facilitate an understanding of the concepts were greatly appreciated by facilitators and students.”

“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!”
- High school teacher, Lonoke High School
“I think the Gizmos helped students have the ability to talk about what was learned by pulling data from the Gizmos. This has increased engagement, especially with students being prompted with "well what evidence from the Gizmos helps support this?"”
- Science Teacher, Bristol Public School District
