Why use Gizmos for high school science?
High school science introduces students to more abstract and rigorous concepts across biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth science, making engaging instruction more important than ever. Gizmos support inquiry-based learning and align with NGSS for grades 9–12, helping students explore scientific ideas through hands-on investigation and critical thinking. With interactive science simulations and virtual science labs for high school, students can visualize complex processes like chemical reactions, genetic inheritance, and energy transfer, deepening their understanding and retention.
Whether you're teaching 9th-grade science, 10th-grade science, 11th-grade science, or 12th-grade science, Gizmos offer the flexibility needed for differentiated instruction and engaging virtual lab experiences that make science accessible to all learners. For deeper, real-world learning, high school STEM Cases challenge students to apply data analysis, scientific reasoning, and evidence-based decision-making to solve authentic problems across a variety of disciplines.
