As our world of education changes daily, our science teachers and students are presented with ongoing challenges. One of these seemingly impossible challenges is completing 1200 minutes of lab work. As our department pondered how to accomplish this with students who either attend lab once a week or totally remotely, we came to the conclusion that we would need to utilize simulations. We started researching sources of high-quality simulations. Although there are some free options out there, many are "glitchy" or of low quality and simplicity. We knew we needed something better. Gizmos, by Explore Learning, would offer us the best opportunity to give our remote learners as close to an authentic lab experience as possible. During our shut down last spring, the company offered educators an unlimited free trial for the remainder of the year. Our science teachers at Brushton-Moira fell in love! The simulations were of the highest quality and allowed us to challenge each and every student. Purchasing a subscription to these simulations will increase our ability to have the highest quality of laboratory experience when being in the lab is impossible.
