Wow-factor classroom moments are powerful for students, but they require a lot of prep work on your end (not to mention lab supplies, funding, and classroom space). But what if interactive and inquiry-based lessons could be possible any day of the school year?
With ExploreLearning Gizmos, students can model observable phenomena, take on the role of STEM professionals, and get hands-on with science and math concepts using inquiry and exploration. Events that might typically take days, weeks, or years to observe can now be experienced in your classroom with 500+ virtual simulations and labs.
What makes Gizmos unique?
Inquiry-based math and science simulations that students crave
Since 1999, students and teachers around the world have been building understanding (and a love of math and science) with Gizmos hands-on simulations and labs.
50 states and 70+ countries
6,811,441+ students
51,735,979+ Gizmos Used in 2023
500+ math and science simulations for grades 3-12
Don’t settle for solutions with limited offerings. With an extensive library of Gizmos and STEM Cases, students and teachers can dive deeper into math and science topics through real-life problem-solving. Instead of skimming the surface, in-depth visualization and data analytics tools help students experience phenomena and concepts, capture and compare experiment results, make predictions, and share findings with others.

Gizmos build conceptual understanding through interactive and real-life learning
Unlike other tools, Gizmos simulations use a learning approach validated by extensive research as a highly effective way to build conceptual understanding in math and science. In a meta-analysis of over 100 research studies involving 4,000+ experimental/control group comparisons, the following Gizmos instructional techniques were all shown to have a large, positive impact on student achievement:
STEM Cases boost inquiry and investigation
Guest speakers, field trips, hands-on investigations? While great in theory, these nice-to-haves simply can’t happen in the busyness of day-to-day teaching. But with Gizmos STEM Cases, students step into the roles of STEM professionals to investigate real-life problems…all from their laptop or tablet. From helping restore the ecosystem of a national park to investigating crime scenes, STEM Cases allow students to analyze and interpret data, test hypotheses, and communicate their findings while gaining exposure to STEM careers.
As students progress through STEM Case activities, teachers can monitor understanding using real-time data insights and heatmaps based on built-in assessment questions.
Extensive lessons, resources, and professional development
Here at ExploreLearning, we celebrate the fact that no two classrooms are the same. Thanks to comprehensive and customizable teaching resources, Gizmos simulations are easy to implement in any classroom, regardless of a teacher’s experience level or subject matter knowledge.
