Teacher Instructions - Gizmos

Gizmos is a resource used in the Launch science courses to complete online laboratory simulations.

Due to change in the Gizmos system, you will no longer need to assign content in Gizmos for your students to access.

Be sure to visit the Common Issues - Gizmos page if you run into any problems.

Be sure to visit the Gizmos Assignments Per Course if you need a list of your Gizmos activities.

If you have taught for Launch previously, your Gizmos account should be linked to your Canvas account.
If you have not taught for Launch previously, you may be prompted to setup your Gizmos account. Please use your Launch/SPS email (@spsmail.org) to create this account. If you receive an error that an account already exists, use the reset password button to reset your password.

To access Gizmos, click the link in the “Start Here: Course Resources” module.

You will see your courses on the right hand side and the Gizmos link on the left side. You can also use the search bar at the top to find Gizmo interactives.
