Pivot Interactives
Science laboratories for distance education
Pivot Interactives is a powerful adjunct to hands-on experimentation, allowing students to vary experimental parameters one at a time to see the results of a set of many recordings of the same experiment. Students make measurements and analyze their data directly in a web portal available on any computer or iOS device with a modern browser.
Students are quickly captivated by these high-quality production videos on difficult-to-replicate phenomena.
Perfect for:
- Remote Science Laboratories.
- Pre-laboratory exercises.
- Laboratory skills assessment.
Chromebook™ classrooms. - Learning style ‘flipped classroom’ / classroom-upside down.
- Credit recovery.
- Substitute teacher days.
- Homework.
- Post-laboratory evaluation.

Complete activities for analysis and evaluation
With Pivot Interactives, you can also create your own experiment activities and upload your own videos to create interactive video labs.
Pivot Interactives was named the winner of the 2017 ISTE Tech & Learning Best of Show Awards, which recognize outstanding products on display at the ISTE Conference & Expo. Winning products were selected by a panel of judges who rated their impressions on a sliding scale and then collectively decided which technologies could have the biggest impact in the classroom ISTE Tech & Learning 2017 Best in the Classroom
What educators are saying
“My physics students love using pivot Interactives. The first time we used them, one student exclaimed, “This is the best Physics activity I’ve ever done online! As soon as we finished one, my students asked if there was more they could do.”
-Kelly O’Shea
“In general, I am very happy with the use of Pivot Interactives! I loved that he gave me the opportunity to do a lab with the students, where without him, I would have had to just give some random equation with no context. Having the data will allow us to build the equation. I loved that using the video was easy and all the data came out very well, which is not always simple. Everyone was involved, as each person was responsible for taking their own data. It worked fine on all of our devices (PC, Mac, iPad – we are a BYOD school). . . . I can’t wait to try more of these videos!”
-Kim Freudenberg, from her blog post
