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’m really a strong proponent of Gizmos in science because I have seen firsthand what it does in terms of engaging kids in labs. Gizmos really allow students to go deeper in terms of problem solving and critical thinking.
