Gizmos
Overview
- Overview
-
ExploreLearning Gizmos is an interactive library of mathematics and science simulations. Students manipulate variables, observe models, collect data, test ideas, and answer investigation questions while teachers facilitate discussion and connect simulations to phenomena. The simulated data belongs to a designed model and set of variables. Teachers connect student observations and explanations with classroom investigations so activity results retain their scientific or mathematical context.

How it supports learning
- Students manipulate variables, observe models, collect data, test ideas, and answer investigation questions while teachers facilitate discussion and connect simulations to phenomena.
- Teachers should connect use to explicit learning goals and inspect student work rather than rely on completion or engagement alone.
Implementation and instructional decisions
- Simulations supplement—not replace—hands-on investigation, explicit instruction, or careful attention to model limitations.
- Districts should confirm accessibility, language support, student-data practices, assignment workflow, reporting, and the continuing role of teacher judgment.
