Gizmos making a very positive impact on student learning
Sally Urquhart is a science teacher working within the Coppell ISD in Texas, and she had some fantastic comments to say about Gizmos which we wanted to share:
"Just a quick note to thank you for the Gizmo
subscription for my students and myself. I used the Temperature and Velocity
Gizmo for AP Chem this afternoon and the students were able to grasp the basic
concept of root mean square velocity as applied to gases quickly (and without
the usual frustration). My Pre AP Chemistry classes have used the Balanced
Equation Gizmo as part of their introduction to chemical equations. It is great
to be able to introduce a concept and then let my students go home and practice
on their own with the Gizmo and the accompanying questions at a time convenient
for them....
The subscription is making a very positive impact on student learning."

Thanks Sally, and we are delighted that Gizmos are making such an impact!
