Gizmos

“My students absolutely loved the Gizmo about building the storm-proof home. I received good feedback from parents that their children even went home discussing how fun it was learning about what materials can be used to storm-proof homes in areas where hurricanes are common. I observed that my students enjoyed experimenting with the different options presented on the Gizmo before starting the activity.”

“My students LOVE it [Gizmos]! If they could do science for the entire day, they would.”

“My students' averages have improved since I started using Gizmos in my teaching. I also have students who decided to take AP Science after my classes because they saw a point of how science is connected to real life, thanks to STEM Cases in Gizmos.”

“My teachers love how Gizmos are ready to use. But they especially love how the lessons and activities are adaptable for students at all learning levels. Through training and collaboration, I have shared how the teachers can take the lessons and modify them for lower-level students and create more challenging tasks for higher-level students”

“My teachers really embraced using the Gizmos in different ways and are excited we'll be continuing with them next year.”

“One of our department's primary goals was to deepen students' grasp of core scientific concepts. Gizmos supported this by providing interactive, visual models that aligned with our curriculum and standards. Students could explore phenomena like plate tectonics, natural selection, or energy transformations in ways that traditional lessons couldn't match.”

“Our organization first discovered Gizmos about five years ago while we were looking for a robust program to compliment the three levels of physics offered at our university. The ease of interaction with each simulation, the instructor guide, students exploration sheets, and suggested answers were key factors which allowed us to introduce your resource to our physics students.”

“Science lessons can be anything but ordinary when accompanied with engaging activities of computer simulations. That is the power of Explore Learning’s visual model, Gizmos. Its interactive user model allows our teachers and students to swiftly move through a variety of scientific concepts or scenarios in a single session, significantly broadening the range of what can be demonstrated, explained, and explored in the classroom. Additionally, Gizmos offers a safe and engaging learning environment to all our students and allows them to build their experience and enthusiasm for STEM subjects without geographical limitations. Finally, Gizmos' interactive features increase students' interest and involvement in inquiry-based lessons, which has had a favorable impact on their academic growth and performance.”

“Students are able to easily do-over a misstep in an experiment without injuries, feeling high stakes or high costs. It also allows students to review and work independently to make up for time missed. I believe that this Gizmos has increased engagement and strengthened my student's experimental skills.”

“Students are able to visualize abstract concepts more easily or to interact and manipulate variables and situations that are difficult to replicate in a classroom setting. When they see things being manipulated on the screen, they are better equipped to explain concepts.”
