“Gizmos have become such a staple in my classroom. If I tell my students an activity or homework assignment will include a Gizmo, I am usually met with at least one ‘Let's go!’ and immediate log-ins to the platform.”
- Teacher, Hamilton Southeastern High School
“Gizmos have been critical for helping students understand and use inquiry skills. I heavily rely on Gizmos for lesson demos, inquiry investigations, and to replace labs for phenomena that is difficult or impossible to show in real life. Students comment on how helpful the simulations are.”
- High school teacher
“Gizmos have helped my students visualize challenging concepts in a way that makes sense to them and allows them to manipulate variables to see the scientific process in action.”
- Teacher, Hamilton Southeastern High School
“Gizmos have provided opportunities through extensive STEM Cases and digital labs that require materials and time constraints that are impossible in an in-person class setting. Gizmos also use on-screen manipulation similar to what is expected on the ATLAS science assessments. With Gizmos we are preparing our sixth-grade scholars to be successful in a STEM-driven school district.”
- High school instructional facilitator, Nettleton Public Schools
“Gizmos is a very interactive platform that allows students to explore a variety of different topics in chemistry, biology, and physics. One of the great characteristics of Gizmos is that it gives students the ability to explore topics in microscale experiments that can't be done in a standard lab. Gizmos allow students to control different variables, make different experiments, and apply the scientific method. They provide teachers with all the resources needed to use the simulation in a very interactive and effective way. I encourage all teachers to use Gizmos in their classes.”
- High school teacher
“Gizmos is a wonderful platform where simulations help us virtually conduct experiments. These captivating online simulations hold students’ attention and make them dig deeper to understand concepts effectively. Before using Gizmos, we had to teach certain topics in science theoretically. But Gizmos has provided us with a fantastic platform to apply our theoretical knowledge practically. They empowers students to conduct their own investigations. They learn challenging concepts through inquiry and exploration by changing the variables in an experiment, observing the virtual results, and drawing the conclusions. Gizmos allows us to follow an inquiry-based learning approach as teachers and help students to become problem solvers.”
- Math and science lead teacher
“Gizmos revolutionizes the way students engage with STEM education. Through interactive simulations and virtual experiments, Gizmos brings science and math concepts to life, providing students with a dynamic and hands-on learning experience. With a focus on inquiry-based instruction, Gizmos allows educators to seamlessly integrate technology into their teaching, promoting a deeper understanding of complex scientific and mathematical principles.”
- Primary school teacher
“Gizmos Stem Cases are well designed to cover the connections of learning with real life.”
- Teacher, Noordwijk International College
“I am so thankful to have ExploreLearning! We are most likely doing a hybrid model and [Gizmos] were a life saver last year for me! So, we’re going to be utilizing them even more this year.”
- Science Teacher/Coach, McComb Local School District
“I do see my students highly engaged and focused when using Gizmos, and more able to self-pace, taking time to draw something or make observations at the speed that they write or process information. I also have a student who is 100% virtual for medical reasons, and she likes how accessible Gizmos are. Other teachers in my school use Gizmos even more than I do!”
