FEATURED TESTIMONIAL
“Science4Us is a huge resource for my classroom. I love to see how the videos, songs and activities encourage students to think in new ways about the things they experience. My students look forward to science time every day!”
— Science4Us Teacher, Advance Learning Academy, FL
“I teach two different types of classes. Some of my classes are a normal traditional class and some are a program that we call "Envision." This is a program where students are able to move at their own pace and they come to me when they need help. Over the last year, I noticed my Envision students always do better on Atlas, the state Biology test. I gathered them all together and asked them why they think they do better. Almost all of them said the same thing- Gizmos and data nuggets. I just wanted you to know that your program does make a difference! Thank you!”

“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
“Integrating Gizmos and STEM Cases into my teaching has truly transformed how my students approach learning. With Gizmos, their active engagement and hands-on exploration have led to a deeper grasp of scientific concepts, fostering a genuine curiosity for STEM subjects. Through immersive STEM Cases, I've witnessed a remarkable shift as students have become critical thinkers, collaborating seamlessly to apply their knowledge to real-world challenges, ultimately preparing them for future success in science and technology.”
- Teacher, Mesa Public Schools
“As an educator, I've found Gizmos to be a game-changer in the classroom. These interactive online simulations bring science to life, allowing students to experiment, manipulate variables, and witness real-time outcomes. Additionally, STEM Cases have enriched my teaching by immersing students in authentic, real-world scenarios, sparking their curiosity and nurturing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The combination of Gizmos and STEM Cases has truly transformed the learning experience, making STEM education more engaging and relevant for my students.”

“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.”
- Physics lab technician, University of the Southern Caribbean, Science Technology and Allied Health
“Gizmos bring topics that students are learning to life. Students are able to learn at their own pace and have their individual 'aha' moments as they progress through the content. Having the Gizmo is a more controlled way of conducting a lab and it helps students engage in the unit and apply their learning.”
- High school teacher
“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.”
- High school teacher
“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
“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.”
