Learn Science, Master STEM, Be Future Ready
Merge EDU engages students in science and STEM with 3D objects and simulations they can touch, hold and interact with.
Hands-on Digital Teaching Aids & Simulations
Two-thirds of students are visual-spatial learners and need differentiated instruction that engages multiple senses. See how Merge EDU can help your students understand complex science and STEM concepts effectively.
The New Science Class
Teach science with digital, hands-on teaching aids and interactive simulations designed for use at home and in the classroom
True-to-life Digital Teaching Aids Designed for Learning Anywhere
Merge provides an effective alternative to physical teaching aids. Every student can access digital teaching aids that help them learn science at home or in the classroom.
- An endless shelf of digital teaching aids
- Thousands in supplies for every student
- As effective as real physical models
Powerful, visual and hands-on Science Simulations
Teach science effectively with simulations your students can touch, hold and interact with. Students will understand complex topics more easily and remember what they learned longer.
- Visual and interactive experiences
- K-8 Standards aligned activities
- Integrated quizzes
Deepen Engagement with Hands-on Student-led Activities
Captivate your student's attention with active, hands-on experiences. With easy-to follow activity plans and built-in quizzes, students gain key knowledge while immersed in learning.

3 Apps with Countless Elements to Explore!
Merge Explorer
Merge Explorer gives you access to over 100+ interactive science simulations for elementary through middle school. Students will investigate a smoking volcano, examine a great white shark, hold the earth in the palm of their hands, and more!
Object Viewer
Merge Object Viewer puts over 1,000 digital teaching aids in the palm of your hand! Students can learn about rocks and minerals, mammals, reptiles, lifecycles, cells, and so much more using different collections of hands-on 3D models. Students can also upload, view, and share their own 3D objects on the Merge Cube
HoloGlobe
Merge HoloGlobe brings real-time NOAA and NASA satellite data and simulations to the Merge Cube, providing stunning views of the Earth and its many processes and systems into the palm of your hand! HoloGlobe is a hands-on resource for K-12 students, educators, and citizen scientists who want to learn more about Earth using real scientific data, including rainfall, cloud coverage, ocean and land temperature, wildfires, snowfall, and more all over the world.
