Explore Learning - GIZMOS
I found this on-line site above excellent! explorelearning.com is an on-line simulation that powers inquiry and understanding. GIZMOS is an award winning on-line simulation for grades in upper primary. It provides students with opportunities to develop higher understanding in the subjects of Maths and Science. It is computer base manipulative, that brings research to life. The teachers who have already experienced this have only great comments, such as 'enhances enthusiasm, the 3D brings it to real life examples, it extends on what is taught in the classroom, and students can access it from home as well as school, this also increases interest and therefor performance. Gizmos are designed as a supplemental curriculum materials that support state and national curriculum standards, plus gizmos helps teachers bring research-proven instructional strategies to their classroom's. I had a turn on the demo (frognuts.com) Dissect a Frog. This was very informative as well as interactive, this demo amazed me and I didn't want to stop learning. I encourage any of my followers to try this site out, like I was I believe you will be addicted in no time...
