BrainPOP, BrainPOP Jr, BrainPOP Espanol, and BrainPOP Francais

Definition

BrainPOP offers digital educational content for Grades 3-6. With over 800 topics available, its cross-curricular topics include an animated movie—written with humour in an age-appropriate voice—plus a rich array of supporting features like concept mapping, learning games, playful assessments, and primary source activities. These help build higher-order thinking, cognitive and literacy skills while encouraging reflection and giving students multiple ways to convey comprehension and express themselves.  Following each movie clip, students can participate in quizzes, cartoons, and do-it-yourself experiments, and with the click of a button, send their quiz results to their support teacher.

BrainPOP Jr. offers digital educational content for children in Grades K - 3. With over 250 topics, it gently encourages young learners to ask questions and form their own ideas. Each curricular topic includes an animated movie, learning games, concept mapping, and interactive features that help extend key concepts and meet the needs of students with different learning styles. Text is read aloud to facilitate comprehension.

BrainPOP Español and BrainPOP Français are recommended for grades 4-8.  These are intended for students who speak these languages fluently or are looking to reinforce language skills. Bear in mind they are not language-learning tools.

BrainPOP Science is only available for students through the Individual Teacher-led Student Account, not the Shared Account. Please find the BrainPOP Science information on the SOPHIE BrainPOP Science page. This needs a link.
