What is BrainPOP?

BrainPOP offers content for almost 900 topics across the curriculum, including core subjects PLUS the arts, health, and technology. Each topic delivers information through a whimsical, age-appropriate animated movie. Quizzes and other interactive activities encourage playful assessment of the content. Students can produce BrainPOP-style movies, digital concept maps, and coding projects to express what they learn creatively.
