FEATURED TESTIMONIAL
“Science skills are often difficult to acquire. Science4Us makes it fun and opens doors to students who have shut down science. Science in the past is something they thought they couldn’t learn. Now they can.”
— Science4Us Director, Advance Learning Academy, FL
“As an intermediate teacher, I really depend on Gizmos for online labs that present students with opportunities we either cannot afford as a school board or are simply not plausible. This is especially true for the STEM labs that have been introduced. These online resources also provide manipulatives for math that allow students to deepen their understanding of concepts. With so many resources available, the opportunities to differentiate for students with different learning needs are vast.”

“I use Gizmos in my high school math class and had a student say, "Now I get it! Why didn't you show us this before?"”
- High school teacher
“For 12 years, Gizmos have been vital to teaching my science 7 students the most difficult concepts, from photosynthesis and osmosis to continental drift and forces. When I moved to teaching grade 4, I started using Gizmos not only for science but also for math, to teach similar concepts in math that require difficult spatial thinking that many students require hands-on materials. The fact that Gizmos allow for further exploration independently of the teaching supports makes these one of the best differentiation tools for teachers!”

“Any time I’ve used Gizmos, my students have a deeper and more meaningful experience with their learning. It leads to more inquiry and great classroom discussion!”
- Grade 3 teacher
“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
