FEATURED TESTIMONIAL
“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
“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.”

“Gizmos Stem Cases are well designed to cover the connections of learning with real life.”
- Teacher, Noordwijk International College
“Gizmos has been a LIFESAVER during this Covid-19 crisis! I’ve been using Gizmos to teach my math students in grades 2-6. I even use Cannonball Clowns as a game with grades 1 through 7! Gizmos is an amazing way to teach math concepts that keeps students engaged in a very unengaging situation. I especially enjoy Fraction Artist, Fraction Garden, Fido’s Flower Bed, and Cannonball Clowns. THANK YOU! I don’t know what I’d do without you!”
- Math Teacher/Coach, Diocese of Brooklyn Education Office
“Is there a limit to what you can do with Gizmos? With every unit and lesson, I learn about something new you can do with Gizmos. They are so versatile! I think performance tasks are a great way to show what students have learned and they also provide a lot of flexibility for scaffolding and differentiation. I just get more and more excited to use Gizmos the more I learn about them. I do love that the student worksheets and other resources are Google friendly, which will make it very easy to use Gizmos with Google Classroom”
- Teacher, Westerville City School District
“I am so thankful to have ExploreLearning! We are most likely doing a hybrid model and [Gizmos] were a life saver last year for me! So, we’re going to be utilizing them even more this year.”
- Science Teacher/Coach, McComb Local School District
“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.”
- Teacher, Stuarts Draft High School
“Gizmos have helped my students visualize challenging concepts in a way that makes sense to them and allows them to manipulate variables to see the scientific process in action.”
- Teacher, Hamilton Southeastern High School
“As a teacher, this platform is a time saver for me, as there are ready-made tasks and STEM hours, but I also like that I can modify assignments at any time.”
- Teacher, Wicomico County School District
“I notice that many of my kids, who are struggling with abstract concepts, find Gizmos helpful.”
- Teacher, Wicomico County School District
“I do see my students highly engaged and focused when using Gizmos, and more able to self-pace, taking time to draw something or make observations at the speed that they write or process information. I also have a student who is 100% virtual for medical reasons, and she likes how accessible Gizmos are. Other teachers in my school use Gizmos even more than I do!”
- Teacher, Cohoes, New York
