Gizmos

“My students' averages have improved since I started using Gizmos in my teaching. I also have students who decided to take AP Science after my classes because they saw a point of how science is connected to real life, thanks to STEM Cases in Gizmos.”

“My teachers love how Gizmos are ready to use. But they especially love how the lessons and activities are adaptable for students at all learning levels. Through training and collaboration, I have shared how the teachers can take the lessons and modify them for lower-level students and create more challenging tasks for higher-level students”

“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.”

“The interface is easy to use and provides the support I need as a teacher and for the students. It is able to show trends in many areas of science that a hands-on lab would not be able to do.”

“The large library of student explorations, or labs, made it possible for me to still incorporate lab-based learning into hybrid/virtual instruction. The clear and concise instructions on student copies, along with answer keys for the teacher to provide support with, made it easy for virtual students to be just as successful in completing the labs as hybrid students who were doing them in the classroom on Chromebooks.”

Gizmos

“These virtual tools offer very rich, engaging, and high quality case studies for high school science that closely align with curriculum expectations. I have found them to be an incredibly valuable resource. Student engagement and feedback has always been positive. I have not been able to find any digital resources that can compare to the educational quality of Gizmos (especially the health-focused case studies). These resources are especially useful when the number of lab rooms are so limited and for students who require visual models to express abstract concepts.”

Gizmos

“We use Gizmos often for math and science...every week! They help provide virtual manipulatives and explanations to grasp or reinforce concepts. The multiple choice format of their quizzes are also great review for the EQAO test. For instance, their STEM multi-lesson Gizmos for ecosystems allows students to make changes to species populations and then play out the impact to the other populations in the food chain over time! VERY engaging.”

“We use Gizmos to supplement our STEM lessons. We often use Gizmos at the beginning of lessons to stimulate interest and generate discussions before we get to the hands-on, project-based learning. Gizmos have also helped support the collaboration between our Innovation Hub and the homeroom teachers as teachers often use Gizmos to reinforce and consolidate learning. We will certainly continue to use Gizmos as we develop the Innovation Hub here at Raha and Taaleem.”

“When you walk into the classroom of a teacher using Gizmos, you notice that students are completely engaged. They have conversations and ask questions. They use data to support and explain scientific claims”
