BrainPop

Product Details

Overview
Supplemental Content Multimedia Grades 3–8

BrainPOP is an animated multimedia learning platform with short explanations and connected activities. It is designed primarily for primarily upper-elementary and middle-school students, with related products for younger learners and multilingual audiences, with teachers, students, librarians, and families using it to support background knowledge, vocabulary, concept introduction, review, and discussion across subjects.

Teachers use topic movies, quizzes, vocabulary, games, readings, and creative tasks to launch or reinforce instruction and give students multiple ways to engage with a concept. The product should be evaluated for the specific learners, instructional setting, and intensity of support a district intends—not simply as another source of digital activities.
