FEATURED TESTIMONIAL
“Frax is helping my students understand the concepts better and approaching students in a way that I am unable to do. They are engaged and enjoying the missions because they are built like games. Students are even doing it on the weekend! Thank you!”
— Frax Teacher, Malden Public Schools, MA
“Hello, Ms. D. I apologize about emailing you during the weekend, but I couldn’t wait to tell you. Gizmos is so much fun, and I absolutely love it. I actually learn something and I like the fact that it is interactive. Thank you so much for making us do Gizmos.”
- Gizmos Student, American International School, Abu Dhabi
“I really admire the Gizmos content. The wide range of topics and the virtual labs that facilitate an understanding of the concepts were greatly appreciated by facilitators and students.”
- Physics lab technician, University of the Southern Caribbean, Science Technology and Allied Health
“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.”

“At the beginning of the academic year my students often struggle when designing an experiment, especially when identifying controlled variables. They have trouble visualizing all the things they need to keep the same and all the things they could change. Gizmos gives my students confidence in figuring out what could be changed and what they need to keep the same.”
- Middle school teacher
“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.”
- Primary school teacher, Raha International School
“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.”
- K-12 Science Coordinator
“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 goes beyond traditional teaching methods, offering interactive simulations and virtual labs that engage students in hands-on learning experiences. The platform provides educators with a diverse range of science simulations, fostering a deeper understanding of complex concepts. Through its user-friendly interface, Gizmos empowers both teachers and students to explore, experiment, and comprehend abstract topics in a fun and interactive manner.”
- High school coordinator
“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.”
