NEW! Gizmos Investigations Elevate Science Learning
Gizmos Investigations foster inquiry-based learning and scientific sensemaking by anchoring abstract ideas in engaging, real-world questions. As students work to solve these questions, they encounter and explore phenomena on their way to solving the motivating problem. These scaffolded High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) include built-in questioning and just-in-time feedback to engage students with sensemaking practices at their individual levels of understanding as they work.
Gizmos Investigations address the challenges teachers face in helping all students DO the DOING of science! Start your free trial to access all Investigations.
