Wide variety of topics and diverse resources in each lesson.

How I Use It

I used Brain Pop mostly in science lessons for 6th grade. Each lesson usually has a video, some kind of worksheet or activity, and an assessment. My students preferred the games and activities over the videos or quizzes. I had the most success with a lesson on microorganisms where my students actually created their own microorganism, and tried to make someone sick. They had to make sure they created an effective environment for the microorganism to live in or it would die. My students really enjoyed playing the game and I liked how students put their knowledge of microorganisms to the test without having to fill out a worksheet or quiz. A student who could successfully make a person sick could show me they understood how germs transfer, and host requirements etc.
