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
“One of my struggling students feeling very confident in her skills now and her math has improved greatly by knowing her math facts by heart and not having to rely on other strategies...fingers were her go to. It has been so amazing to see her soar.”
- Teacher, St Elizabeth Ann Seton School
“It is the first thing my students do every morning. Everyone is engaged the whole time and they enjoy playing.”
- Teacher, Haines Elem Middle School
“My math class is so motivated to get on Frax and complete missions. They ask me every single day if Sector 2 has been released yet and they're always moaning when I tell them not yet. They love receiving their certificates of different mission completions and will brag to each other about their Black Star status, etc. One student in particular has grown so much in her confidence in math because of the Frax program. She believes in herself now during math because she's the furthest in the program and all her classmates support her and her enthusiasm for it.”
- Teacher, Finger Lake Elementary School
“It's engaging, and I really appreciate the green light! It is so helpful to see when students have made their progress.”
- Teacher, Finger Lake Elementary School
“As an adjunct faculty member at both private and state universities in Minnesota, I have had the opportunity to introduce the Gizmo platform to future educators. Gizmo’s lessons are scaffolded to transition from teacher modeling to student independence in understanding key concepts. Each lesson begins with a prior knowledge component, building on previous lessons and allowing teachers to make necessary adjustments. Additionally, vocabulary words are listed at the top of each lesson and highlighted as they are introduced. I strongly recommend that other colleges and universities incorporate this tool into their programs to support future educators.”

“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!”
- High school teacher, Lonoke 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
“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.”
- Teacher, Mesa Public Schools
“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.”
