Gizmos

“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.”

“Students are very engaged and love Gizmos. In the classes I have led, the conversations we have been able to have around the Gizmo and deepening their understanding has been great!”

“Students love the gamified/simulations to see how technology plays in.”

“Students seem to take their answers a step further and not only state the answer, but they also engage in thinking about why that is the answer.”

Gizmos

“Students were able to do investigations that I would not be able to do in the classroom due to me not having the resources. They were able to have discussions on the skill and use critical thinking to dig deeper into what they were learning.”

Gizmos

“Students were excited about conducting the Gizmos and more willing to try different options to see different results.”

“The 'hands-on' nature of the Gizmos lessons has helped students gain confidence in engaging in science, because they want to actively participate.”
