What are Gizmos?

Grades 3-12

ExploreLearning Gizmos are award-winning virtual math and science simulations that bring research-proven instructional strategies to life. With more than 550 Gizmos and STEM Cases, students dig deeper into math and science topics through real-life problem-solving.

Each Gizmo comes with extensive teaching resources (like pre-made, customizable lesson materials and professional development) for easy planning and implementation.

A perfect fit

Aligned to the Massachusetts Student Learning Standards and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), Gizmos help students prepare and succeed on end-of-year summative assessments like the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) and MCAS STE tests. Gizmos simulations also prepare students for interactive simulation testing as Massachusetts implements new performance task assessments.

Instead of skimming the surface, in-depth visualization and data analytics tools help students develop a conceptual understanding of topics as they capture and compare experiment results, make predictions, and share findings with others.
